> Department personnel should prioritize removable aliens who:

> (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

> (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

> (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
