> This is remarkably (terrifyingly?) sweeping in its construct.  From the actual order (italics mine):
>
> Department personnel should prioritize removable aliens who:
> (1) have been convicted of any criminal offense; 
>
> (2) have been charged with any criminal offense that has not been resolved;
>
> (3) have committed acts which constitute a chargeable criminal offense;
>
> (4) have engaged in fraud or willful misrepresentation in connection with any official matter before a governmental 
> agency;
>
> (5) have abused any program related to receipt of public benefits;
>
> (6) are subject to a final order of removal but have not complied with their legal obligation to depart the United 
> States; or
>
> (7) in the judgment of an immigration officer, otherwise pose a risk to public safety or national security.
>
> The Director of ICE, the Commissioner of CBP, and the Director of USCIS may, as they determine is appropriate, issue 
> further guidance to allocate appropriate resources to prioritize enforcement activities within these categories - for 
> example, by prioritizing enforcement activities against removable aliens who are convicted felons or who are involved 
> in gang activity or drug trafficking.

> Note that being in the US without permission is a "chargeable criminal offense" (condition #3)  Basically, therefore,

> I live in an agricultural area, where the vast majority of workers are immigrants, mostly undocumented.  Many have

> The families are terrified that they will be separated – and not without evidence to support that fear.  We know 
> people who, in the past two weeks, have had a parent targeted, arrested, and deported without hearing.
