Measles exposure at LAX amid growing cases across U.S. How to protect yourself

In this file photo from Wednesday, Jan. 10, 2018, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents serve an employment audit notice at a 7-Eleven convenience store in Los Angeles. Immigration agents this week delivered inspection notices to 77 restaurants and other businesses in Northern California and gave them three workdays to prove their employees are authorized to work in the country. ICE agents served notices Monday through Wednesday to businesses in Sacramento, San Jose and San Francisco. A notice of inspection asks business owners to produce so-called I-9 forms, which employees are required to fill when first hired to confirm they are legally authorized to work. The audits come two weeks after California Attorney General Xavier Becerra warned business owners they could face fines of up to $10,000 if they violate a new state law that bars them from turning over workers' records to federal authorities.
