I haven't seen any pro Hamas protestors. Anti-Israel and pro-Palestine all over the place, but no Hamas.

Even saying people are pro-palestine seems misleading usually. People are mostly just anti-genocide.
That's the straw man behind all of this - saying anything in support of the Palestinian people is "pro hamas", saying anything negative about Israel is "antisemitic". It deliberately conflates political groups with ethnic identities to dismiss the argument
If you aren’t vocally pro-Israel, you are pro-Hamas.

Sorry, those are blocked on my network.
And I'm sure it'll be used against anyone protesting Israel's genocide.
Both parties are the same!!?!?!?!ONE! *Drool.*
So the actual EO doesn't call out H1B at all, so I'm guessing this is sensationalized as H1B is the most "visible" visa in recent news.
The context for this is likely the Moroccan national who recently committed a terror attack in Israel. He had a green card and that was supposedly part of the decision to grant him entry as a tourist to Israel.
That having been said, this will likely result in some international students getting deported whether deserved or not. Semi-intended consequences is what I'd call them.
You sure have a lot of faith in the Trump administration. I think it may be misplaced.
Understanding the context and motivations of the administration is critical in planning how to survive the next four years.
Ignore it at your own peril.
I'd say handwaving away the fact that they said they're going to round up millions of people with no real way of determining whether or not they are in the country legally, and possibly not even giving a shit, is what could be perilous.
Unless you think that's a lie. In which case, why not ignore it?
I don't think we're having the same conversation.
This EO is about going back over the visa documents for people who entered legally and reviewing them based on a changed standard.
The article is badly written with a sensationalized headline. The EO is written in standard legalese, and only related tangentially to the article. H1Bs likely don't need to worry too much, but postdocs on that visa who went to a protest may need to reconsider their political activity. The fact that CAIR is quoted should give you a hint as to how this EO is expected to be applied - towards international students on F1 visas - specifically those who have taken part of campus demonstrations involving symbols from foreign terrorist organizations (Hamas flag, Hezbollah flags, etc).
Beyond that, it may be used as a stick against postdocs working on politically charged topics like climate change.
Sounds good to me man, Hamas are Islamofascist Terrorists
Issue us pro hamas also includes anti genocide in trumps eyes
