Schmitt released a memo he says details Biden administration proposals to expand Temporary Protected Status.

SOURCE CHECK
TAP FOR WHYTwitchy is a blog with a strongly partisan orientation, and this article offers little independent corroboration of the memo’s contents or the claims made about it. The author is identified, but the sourcing relies heavily on social media posts and assertions.
- Source type — Blog format and strong partisan orientation lower confidence in institutional safeguards.
- Editorial standards — The article uses highly charged language and does not show independent verification of its central claims.
- Transparency — The article attributes the memo’s release to Schmitt but provides limited detail on its verification or provenance.
- Author attribution — The article identifies an author.
The article identifies Schmitt and describes the memo’s alleged contents, but provides little direct examination of the document or independent corroboration. Its strongly accusatory framing and lack of opposing context limit the quality of the reporting.
HOW WE SCORE ↗The article relies on Schmitt’s interpretation and supportive comments, without presenting a response from the Biden administration or independent analysis of the memo. Its loaded language reinforces a one-sided presentation.
- Source diversity — The central claims come from Schmitt and aligned social media comments; no opposing or independent sources are presented.
- Counterarguments presented — No response from the Biden administration or alternative interpretation of the memo appears.
- Loaded language — Uses accusatory language about Biden and his advisers.
- Opinion vs reporting — Commentary and reporting are blended in a strongly persuasive presentation.
The article frames the Biden administration’s actions as a deliberate effort to protect noncitizens and undermine Trump, using approving language for Schmitt’s criticism and harsh language about Biden and his advisers. It presents no meaningful countervailing perspective.
- Language tone — Uses strongly condemnatory language about Biden and his advisers.
- Framing — Frames the memo as a deliberate effort to obstruct Trump and protect people from deportation.
- Source selection — Relies mainly on Schmitt’s claims and supportive social media reactions.
- Omission — Offers no response or explanation from Biden administration officials or other sources.
Sen. Eric Schmitt says he released a newly obtained Biden administration memo discussing ways to expand Temporary Protected Status before President Trump took office. The article presents the memo as an effort to impede Trump’s deportation plans and notes that Biden later extended TPS for nearly one million noncitizens.
Schmitt says the memo describes proposals to extend or expand Temporary Protected Status before Biden left office, potentially making millions more people eligible and leaving the incoming Trump administration to process claims. The article says the memo appears to be misdated and characterizes its proposals as an effort to shield people from Trump’s planned deportations.
The article reports that Biden extended TPS for nearly one million noncitizens a week after receiving the memo. It presents this as a possible result of the memo’s recommendations, while Schmitt says he will continue opposing TPS.
