Appeal to Emotion, False Cause, Biased Language, Red Herring

credAIble Evaluation:

This text discusses the Trump administration’s reversal on international student visa revocations, but relies significantly on emotional framing, highlighting students’ fear and distress without clear causal attribution (Appeal to Emotion). It suggests a linkage between minor offenses or political activism and visa cancellations without evidentiary clarity (False Cause). Subjective and emotionally charged phrasing like "scrambling" and "sounding the alarm" introduces Biased Language. Introducing specific activist cases, such as Momodou Taal’s, shifts focus from the legal policy itself to individual grievances, subtly derailing the main issue (Red Herring).
