It seems that the examples given in the article are about non-US citizens caught in a tangle of sorts but some physicists are wanting to apply it to themselves as a whole.

As they well should.
Science has been completely destroyed through grant revocation at Colombia on the pretense of unconnected protests about Israel and Palestine.
There is no targeting based on who did what, just being in the same institution is enough.
And many of these physicists have workers from other countries doing research for them. Even if they are US citizens, their thought crimes will have severe problems for those employees.
"Science has been completely destroyed"
Really? Completely?
Would you prefer the phrasing "US scientific and public health infrastructure has been subjected to capricious changes that will effect almost all aspects of research and health care for a decade or more"?

Are you unaware that the executive orders on F&A indirect affect every field of science?
Are you aware that an enormous amount of chemistry, mathematical, computer science, physics, etc. is funded through the NIH?
The poster I responded to complained I gave too many examples, and now your post is a complaint that I didn't give examples in scientific areas you deem important.
For tedious completeness here are a variety of other examples all of which involve math, physics, chemistry, computer science and other non-biomedical fields.
