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.
