Officials with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) will formally
recognize the City of Marietta as having obtained IMAGE Certification.
IMAGE, which stands for ICE Mutual Agreement between Government and
Employers, required the city to enroll in the E-Verify program, establish a
written hiring and employment eligibility verification policy that includes
internal Form I-9 audits at least once per year, and submit to a Form I-9
inspection. The IMAGE program was created in 2006 as a joint government and
private sector initiative designed to build cooperative relationships that
strengthen hiring practices and encourage employer compliance. The goal of the
IMAGE program is to curtail the employment of unauthorized workers through
outreach, education, and partnership. Presenting a certificate will be Mr. Nick
Annan, Special Agent in Charge of the Atlanta office of Homeland Security
Investigations.
