It affects people in the U.S. who have EADs. That tends to be people in temporary protected status programs and a few other administrative grey areas. There’s others, but that’d be the largest class.

 

The administration has been clear on multiple occasions that it much prefers those people to leave and if they want to cone back, seek another status via the network of U.S. embassies and consulates abroad.

 

Its part of a larger trend of trying to discourage people from seeking immigration benefits from within the United States, and a shift to providing more resources to review cases that originate outside the U.S. You see it most clearly in the family visas, yes, but it’s also being seen in the refugee resettlement realignments, this announcement, and a few others.
