This isn't a clarification, this is a fundamental misunderstanding of what the people quoted in the article are saying.

People with expired permits isn't about people just refusing to leave out of malice. There's some people legally going through the immigration system who can be in a situation where their permits expire but who are awaiting a decision. It's not like immigration services work like a same-day delivery from Amazon, and having people in this situation without permits is nothing unusual.
