I'm not familiar with US employment laws (if it's a thing).
In Europe, if given such instructions, the employee could likely refuse to comply. Upon the likely firing, they can easily contest the decision at an employment tribunal, and likely win, regardless of who is president.
In the US, I suppose it would be GTFO, and even more so as the employee is likely a H1B visa holder.
