Not exactly clear. As long as they retain their otherwise valid visas and can get on a flight before the temp order expires they should be fine. It’s the getting on a flight at this point that might be tricky since the stay specifically enjoins further “removal” actions from the United States. A stickler might read that as saying you need to actually make it here before it applies.

As I understand it, it applies to the people detained at airports now and others in transit — including those with green cards, valid visas and refugee status. It does not invalidate the EO entirely, but it will at least allow travelers to enter the country as they are legally entitled to.
