• The immediate plan, design, and construction of a physical wall on the southern border to achieve complete operational control of the border, including identifying and allocating sources of Federal funds for this project.  Furthermore, agencies are directed to identify all foreign aid or assistance to the Government of Mexico over the past five years. 
   
• Subject to appropriations, the hiring of 5,000 additional Border Patrol agents.
   
• That individuals who are apprehended on suspicion of violating Federal or State law, including Federal immigration law, be detained pending further proceedings.  The order includes instruction to construct, operate and control facilities to detain aliens at or near the land border with Mexico. Further, the order instructs the Attorney General to accord high priority to the prosecution of offenses at the southern border. The order also requires DHS to publicly report monthly statistical data on alien apprehensions at or near the southern border.
   
• Expeditious determinations of apprehended individuals' claims of eligibility to remain in the U.S.  The order instructs DHS to immediately assign asylum officers to immigration detention facilities to accept asylum referrals and conduct credible and reasonable fear determinations, and to immediately assign immigration judges to immigration detention facilities to conduct proceedings. 
   
• All appropriate actions to ensure the detention of aliens apprehended for violations of immigration law, pending the outcome of their removal proceedings.  This provision eliminates the practice known as "catch and release".
   
• Prompt removal of those individuals whose legal claims to remain have been lawfully rejected.
   
• Cooperation with States and local law enforcement in enacting Federal-State partnerships to enforce Federal immigration priorities, as well as State monitoring and detention programs that are consistent with Federal law and do not undermine Federal immigration priorities.  The order indicates that State and local law enforcement agencies are empowered to perform the functions of an immigration officer to the maximum extent permitted by law. Further, the order instructs DHS to immediately engage with state and local officials to enter into immigration enforcement agreements to supplement Federal performance of these duties. 
   
• Immediate action to ensure that the parole and asylum provisions of Federal immigration law are not illegally exploited to prevent the removal of otherwise removable aliens. The order specifically instructs DHS to issue parole on a case-by-case basis and only when an individual demonstrates urgent humanitarian reasons or a significant public benefit would be derived from the parole.

• Instructs DHS to prioritize for removal those aliens who have been convicted or charged with any criminal offense, where such charge has not been resolved, or who have committed acts that constitute a chargeable criminal offense. Also prioritized are those who have engaged in fraud or willful misrepresentation in any official matter before a governmental agency, those who have abused any program related to receipt of public benefits, and those who are subject to a final order of removal but have not complied, as well as any other individuals who, in the judgment of an immigration officer, otherwise pose a risk to the public safety or national security.
  
  
• Subject to law and appropriations, hire 10,000 additional immigration officers.
  
  
• Empower state and local law enforcement agencies to perform the functions of an immigration officer to the maximum extent permitted by law by working with them to enter agreements which would authorize such officials to investigate, apprehend, or detain aliens in the United States.
  
  
• Jurisdictions which willfully fail to comply with applicable Federal laws ("sanctuary jurisdictions") will not receive Federal grants except as deemed necessary for law enforcement purposes. DHS has the authority to designate a jurisdiction as a sanctuary jurisdiction, and the Attorney General shall take appropriate enforcement action. Further, DHS is ordered to release weekly comprehensive lists of criminal actions committed by aliens in any sanctuary jurisdiction.
  
  
• Terminate the Priority Enforcement Program (PEP) instituted on November 20, 2014 and reinstate the previous "Secure Communities" Program.
  
  
• Ensure that aliens ordered removed from the United States are promptly removed. In support of this, the Secretary of State is instructed to condition all diplomatic efforts and negotiations with foreign states on their acceptance of any nationals who are subject to removal from the United States.
  
  
• Support victims and families of victims of crimes committed by removable aliens through a new office under U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
  
  
• Exclude persons who are not U.S. citizens or permanent residents from the protections of the Privacy Act regarding personally identifiable information.

• The order immediately suspends entry into the United States, as immigrants and nonimmigrants, of all individuals from designated countries for 30 days.  The countries include Iran, Iraq, Sudan and Syria, and may also include Libya, Somalia, and Yemen. Other countries may be added to this list, and adjudication of other immigration benefits could be impacted.

• Instructs several agencies to submit, in the next 30 days, a list of all information needed from any country in order to make an adequate determination about whether an individual seeking an immigration benefit is who they claim to be and is not a security or public-safety threat.  In addition, the report must include a list of all countries that do not provide adequate information at this time. The Secretary of State will then request that those foreign governments which do not currently comply provide such additional information as is required regarding their nationals within 60 days. At the end of the 60-day period, the list of non-compliant countries will be provided to President Trump, who is expected to issue a Presidential Proclamation to prohibit the entry of foreign nationals from those countries until compliance occurs. There would be exceptions for diplomatic visas, NATO visas, and travel for the UN, and case-by-case exceptions based on national interest.
  
  
• New screening procedures to identify applicants for immigration benefits seeking to enter the United States on a fraudulent basis or with the intent to cause harm. The new screenings will also evaluate the applicant's likelihood of making positive contributions to society or to the national interest.
  
  
• Suspends the visa interview waiver program, so all nonimmigrant visa applicants must now undergo an in-person interview (unless exempt by statute).
  
  
• Immediate suspension of all refugee admissions for 120 days while evaluations are made to establish additional security procedures, with the exception of cases determined to be in the national interest, and those made on the basis of religious persecution where the individual is of a minority religion in their home country.  Refugee applicants who are already in the process may be admitted once the new procedures are in place. After 120 days, refugee admissions will resume only for nationals of countries for whom sufficient safeguards are in place to ensure the security and welfare of the United States, as determined by the Secretaries of DHS, State, and the Director of National Intelligence.  Once admissions resume, priority will be given to claims made on the basis of religious persecution where the individual is of a minority religion in their home country.   Refugee admissions for FY2017 will be limited to 50,000 (reduced from President Obama's goal of 110,000).      
  
  
• Syrian refugee processing and admission will immediately cease until President Trump determines that sufficient changes have been made to the application / clearance process to ensure its alignment with the national interest. In the meantime, the Secretaries of State and Defense are instructed to produce a plan within 90 days to provide safe areas in Syria and the surrounding region in which displaced Syrian nationals can await firm settlement.
  
  
• Expedited completion of a Biometric Entry-Exit Tracking System for all travelers to the United States.
