Presumably this is another thing he doesn't have the ability to decide legally. I assume they would have to go through the courts to nullify them, if that were even a thing. So what will happen is these people will end up in court with their Joe pardon, and then that court has to rule if they are immune or not? Which means it'll come down to if Republican judges want to overrule the sitting dictator or ignore the constitution. I suspect they go with the later.

He doesn't listen to judges. The rule of law isn't a thing in Trumpistan.

The Trump administration says it ignored a Saturday court order to turn around two planeloads of alleged Venezuelan gang members because the flights were over international waters and therefore the ruling didn't apply, two senior officials tell Axios.
Why it matters: The administration's decision to defy a federal judge's order is exceedingly rare and highly controversial.
"Court order defied. First of many as I've been warning and start of true constitutional crisis," national security attorney Mark S. Zaid, a Trump critic, wrote on X, adding that Trump could ultimately get impeached.
The White House welcomes that fight. "This is headed to the Supreme Court. And we're going to win," a senior White House official told Axios.
A second administration official said Trump was not defying the judge whose ruling came too late for the planes to change course: "Very important that people understand we are not actively defying court orders."
State of play: Trump's advisers contend U.S. District Judge James Boasberg overstepped his authority by issuing an order that blocked the president from deporting about 250 alleged Tren de Aragua gang members under the Alien Enemies Act of 1789.

Don't know who the author thinks is going to impeach him. The GOP are lickspittles, the Democrats are spineless and pathetic.
Even the Christian Barbie he put on the Supreme Court is probably afraid now.
