A lawsuit against a federal rule that would hold employers accountable for hiring undocumented workers will be on hold until March 2008 following a request from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
The DHS made the request in order to revise its “No Match” regulation, that has been challenged by labor’ immigrant and civil rights groups and blocked from being implemented through a preliminary injunction issued by a federal judge in October.
The proposal would have required employers receiving No Match letters about employees whose Social Security numbers did not match those of the Social.
