Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security Speaks to the Detroit Economic Club on the Enforcement of Immigration Laws

In a speech titled, "Enforcement of our Immigration and Customs Laws: Leveling the Playing Field for Law-Abiding Companies" Assistant Secretary Myers will discuss the federal government's efforts to protect the American people by enforcing the nation's immigration and customs laws. Heading the Department of Homeland Security's largest investigative component, Ms. Myers will focus on increasing ICE efforts to expand worksite compliance by business owners and managers.

Additionally, she will discuss the agency's priority to ensure consumer product safety and safeguard American intellectual property rights.
