A webinar presented by Thompson Hine LLP


As the Trump administration continues to establish its priorities, Thompson Hine invites you to attend a timely webinar series that will explore how this transition of power may reshape the legal and regulatory landscape. From U.S. trade policies to immigration enforcement, the incoming administration could bring significant changes across a range of government sectors. Our attorneys will provide insights and analysis on these anticipated shifts, examining their potential impact on key practice areas.

Heightened scrutiny at U.S. borders is affecting international travelers—including those with valid visas or green cards, and even U.S. citizens. Join us for a timely discussion on how evolving U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) practices impact both international business and personal travel and what employers should do to mitigate risks.

Our Thompson Hine lawyers, Kelli Hayes, Keith Spiller, and Dwight Myfelt will cover re-entry issues, the inspection of devices and social media, re-entry denials, and the detention of foreign nationals. We’ll also address how these developments affect U.S. citizens and the critical steps employers can take to protect their workforce and company data.

Topics will include:

  • Risks international travelers face at re-entry—and how to reduce them
  • Device searches, data downloads, and access to social media at the border
  • What happens when a traveler—U.S. citizen or not—refuses access to their device
  • Protecting social media accounts and data while traveling
  • Consequences for foreign nationals denied entry and how to respond
  • Impact on students, employees on work authorization, and green card holders
  • What employers can and cannot advise about personal travel abroad and employees’ non-work-hours social media activities
