True news - The journalist who made the decision: gr07_25N
I read the article and also checked what other big news websites like The Guardian and The Washington Post said about the same topic. They all report similar things — that the Trump administration in 2025 started cracking down on student protests, especially those supporting Palestine.
Here’s what convinced me the article is true:
-
It comes from a trusted news source
CNN is a well-known news outlet. They usually check their facts and don’t post random stuff. -
Other sources say the same things
I found similar reports in other major newspapers. For example, there’s a real case of a Columbia student who faced deportation, and universities like Harvard and Columbia really did lose federal funding because of how they handled protests. -
It talks about real events and people
The article gives real examples, like student Yunseo Chung, and explains how the government used AI to find protestors online. These aren’t made-up stories — they’ve been confirmed elsewhere too. -
It doesn’t feel like clickbait
The article is written in a straightforward way. It doesn’t try to make the story overly dramatic or emotional — it just reports what happened.
