SOURCE CHECK
TAP FOR WHYCredibility rates WorldNetDaily, where this article appeared. The other scores rate the article itself.
WorldNetDaily has a strongly ideological presentation, and this article relies heavily on a senator’s statements and a report attributed to Fox rather than presenting independent responses or extensive verification. The named author and identified memo provide some transparency.
- Source type — A highly partisan outlet; the article uses emphatic framing on a contested political issue.
- Transparency — The article identifies the memo and attributes key claims to Schmitt and Fox, but offers limited independent verification.
- Author attribution — A named author is credited.
The article identifies a memo and quotes or paraphrases specific claims, but it largely relies on Schmitt’s characterization and a Fox report. It offers little response from Biden or independent context for evaluating the memo’s implications.
HOW WE SCORE ↗The article presents Schmitt’s criticism and claims drawn from the memo but provides no response from Biden or another perspective assessing the proposed TPS designations.
- Source diversity — Schmitt’s views are prominent, with no opposing political source included.
- Counterarguments presented — No response from Biden or his administration is reported.
- Loaded language — The framing uses charged language to characterize the alleged plan and TPS.
The headline and article frame Biden’s alleged intentions as an effort to harm Trump and characterize TPS as a means of shielding migrants. The story foregrounds Schmitt’s accusations and does not include a response from Biden or his administration.
- Headline — Uses the phrase “to hurt Trump” to characterize Biden’s alleged motive.
- Source selection — Emphasizes Schmitt’s claims and a Fox report without including a Biden administration response.
- Language tone — Uses charged terms such as “trap,” “racket” and “one-way ratchet.”

WorldNetDaily reports that a memo from Joe Biden’s final days in office outlined expanded Temporary Protected Status designations and litigation that could hinder Donald Trump’s plans. Sen. Eric Schmitt says he obtained the memo and accused Biden of seeking to shield millions of migrants.
WorldNetDaily reports that a memo from the final days of Biden’s administration described plans that could place millions of people under Temporary Protected Status (TPS). The article says the memo discussed litigation that might block Trump’s efforts to end TPS designations, and quotes Schmitt saying Biden’s advisers recommended adding 2.1 million new designees in the administration’s final weeks.
Schmitt said he obtained the memo from the Archivist of the United States and accused Biden of trying to use TPS to protect 3.1 million noncitizens and tie up the incoming administration in litigation. The article describes TPS as protection for people whose home countries face circumstances such as political unrest or natural disasters, and cites a chart in the memo listing proposed designations for people from several countries.
