As I type, CNN sent a push announcement to my phone moments ago that an executive order is coming this afternoon around 4:30pm ET on refugees and "extreme vetting" without mention of a 30 day pause.

I guess this will be another completely lost day of work...

Unless the Iranian students were classified as refugees or seeking refugee status in the US, I'm pretty sure any executive order on refugees will hit such Iranians in a different way than for those Iranians coming in on say J or F visas and not seeking refugee status from beyond the borders of the US.
