 t:\n\nGovernment mandates (e.g.\, laws\, executive orders) are often initi
 ally change-prone and subject to legal contestation. Yet\, some managers p
 romptly comply despite uncertainty regarding mandate legality and scope. L
 ess is known about the drivers of managers’ anticipatory compliance decisi
 ons. Studying this\, we examine U.S. President Trump’s 2017 “Muslim ban” e
 xecutive order\, which sought to ban U.S. entry for immigrants from seven 
 majority-Muslim countries. Leveraging government administrative records on
  employer-sponsored immigrant work authorization applications\, we analyze
  managers’ response to the ban through anticipatory compliance (voluntary 
 application withdrawal). Using a difference-in-differences analysis\, we f
 ind withdrawal rates increased from 0.3 to 8.5 percent for immigrants from
  targeted majority Muslim countries in the year after the ban\, relative t
 o the year before\, peaking at 29 percent. We find that this withdrawal in
 crease is not driven by broad anti-Muslim bias\, or a partisan imperative 
 to demonstrate timely responsiveness. Rather\, analyses indicate the prese
 nce of a partisan filter in enforcement expectation: Manager withdrawals f
 rom Republican-leaning employers increased gradually and peaked with the U
 .S. Supreme Court’s announced willingness to consider the Muslim Ban’s leg
 ality\, which occurred in the 5-6 months after the Muslim Ban executive or
 der. Findings emphasize the capacity of government to shape labor market d
 ynamics through (even legally-contested) mandates\, and the importance of 
 accounting for employer ideology in anticipatory compliance decisions.\n
