Timothy Sparapani, Senior Legislative Counsel for the ACLU, will testify tomorrow before the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration, Citizenship, Refugees, Border Security, and International Law on the effects of implementing a mandatory electronic employment verification system in the United States. Six members of Congress will also testify before the subcommittee, marking the growing significance of this issue to both members of Congress and the American people.

WHO: Timothy Sparapani, Senior Legislative Counsel, ACLU

WHAT: House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration, Citizenship, Refugees, Border Security, and International Law hearing titled “Electronic Employment Verification Systems: Needed Safeguards to Protect Privacy and Prevent Misuse”

WHERE: 2141 Cannon House Office Building

WHEN: Tuesday, June 10 at 9 A.M.

Sparapani will argue that the creation of a mandatory system will endanger the privacy of American citizens and inevitable systemic errors will create a ‘No-Work’ list of eligible Americans who are wrongly prevented from working by the U.S. government. Following Sparapani’s testimony, thousands of ACLU members from across the nation will be lobbying their elected officials to oppose any employment verification system.
