Trump's pledge to ease green cards for foreign graduates contrasts with policies that have alarmed and confused international students.

President Trump's promise to grant green cards to foreign students who graduate from U.S. colleges did not materialize.

These actions left international students feeling targeted, fearful, and insecure, leading some to reconsider their plans to build a life in America.
