Employer required to provide notice to employees of federal immigration inspection, employers prohibited from allowing federal immigration officers into nonpublic work areas, and penalties imposed.

This Minnesota bill requires employers to inform their employees within 72 hours if a federal immigration agency plans to inspect their employment records. It also prohibits employers from allowing federal immigration officers into nonpublic areas of their business, such as offices or storage rooms, unless the officers present a valid court warrant. To enforce these rules, the state will provide a standard notice template for businesses to use, and employers face civil fines ranging from $2,000 to $10,000 for failing to comply with the notification or access restrictions. The law directly impacts businesses in Minnesota and aims to ensure workers are aware of federal inspections while limiting unauthorized access to private workspaces.
