Bombshell Memo shows Biden Planned to Leave Trump With Even Bigger Immigration Catastrophe

And the Biden bombshells just keep dropping. This latest exposes the catastrophic conspiracy to sabotage America’s borders and shield millions from deportation and further import millions more.

Biden Advisors’ Memo Proposed TPS for 3.1 Million Noncitizens

The January 2, 2025, memo outlined options to extend or add TPS for nationals from countries like Guatemala, Ecuador, Nicaragua, and Venezuela, potentially covering 3.1 million people amid unsafe conditions at home. Sen. Eric Schmitt released the document, calling it a ploy to block Trump’s deportations and tie his administration in lawsuits. While some extensions for Venezuela, Sudan, El Salvador, and Ukraine went forward, covering nearly 1 million through late 2026, the full expansions were not pursued amid ongoing debates over the program’s use.

Bombshell memo shows Biden planned to leave Trump with even more massive immigration crisis

By: Charles Creitz, Fox News, July 24, 2026:

A newly-uncovered Biden White House memo from the administration’s final days revealed plans that could have expanded Temporary Protected Status (TPS) to more than 3 million noncitizens while acknowledging that previous court challenges had blocked many of President Donald Trump’s efforts to end the protections.

TPS is meant for foreign populations experiencing crises like political unrest or natural disasters, and while Trump has tried to end the “temporary” provisions for Haitians, Nepalese, Salvadorans and Sudanese people, lawsuits from pro-migrant advocates have halted most attempts.

“My investigation uncovered that the Lame Duck Biden White House tried to keep millions of illegal aliens in our country by abusing the ‘Temporary’ Protected Status program,” Sen. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., who acquired the memo, told Fox News Digital on Friday.

“After the American people voted for President Trump’s promise to end the TPS scam, the Biden administration tried to subvert the will of the American people. This was mass amnesty-by-decree. America is for Americans, and it is our home—it is not a permanent refugee camp,” he said.

The memo argued that “granting TPS will potentially protect many vulnerable people from President-elect Trump’s planned mass deportations… They argue that these protections are likely to hold in court, and they are prepared to litigate efforts to terminate or slow down the implementation of TPS for specified nations by the Trump Administration.”

“[P]rior federal litigation brought by advocates during the first Trump administration was successful in halting [its] efforts to terminate TPS, though that was due in large part to [its] failure to produce a factual record in support of termination, which is something that could be rectified,” the memo went on.

Schmitt said he obtained the memo from Archivist of the United States Edward Forst through his authority as chairman of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution.

“Biden tried to turn TPS into a 3.1-million-person deportation shield, protect Tren de Aragua members, and trap President Trump in years of litigation,” he said, adding the move directly betrayed the “will of the people” who ousted liberal Democrats from power the prior election.

“The most disturbing part, Biden’s ‘Senior Advisors’ recommended he create 2.1 million NEW TPS designees in the last few weeks of his presidency, despite admitting TPS applications take 6 months,” Schmitt added.

“Luckily, that never happened and we have been deporting Ecuadorians and Guatemalans.”

Fox News Digital reached out to Biden and a former Biden official for comment.

Schmitt noted that one week after the January 2025 memo — which he said was erroneously dated “2024” — Biden extended TPS protections for nearly 1 million noncitizens, meaning its transmission still led to “a concrete, mass-migration action.”

Schmitt shared a clip of his recent floor remarks on a related topic, where he said the U.S. should not be a “get-rich-quick scheme for the third world” and that Americans don’t try to delay enforcement of squatters on their property in real-life.

The memo reminded Biden he gave TPS protections to Afghans, Cameroonians, Ethiopians, people from Burma, Lebanese, Ukrainians and Venezuelan nationals and repeatedly extended protections for Haitians.

“The previous Administration unsuccessfully attempted to terminate TPS designations for Sudan, Nicaragua, Haiti, El Salvador, Nepal, and Honduras. Courts issued preliminary injunctions blocking the Trump Administration’s actions,” it read. “Your administration took actions to resolve this litigation by either redesignating Haiti or rescinding the terminations.”

The memo noted that Trump had said during the 2024 campaign he intended to revoke TPS protections for Haitians and predicted his incoming administration would likely seek to rescind additional TPS designations.

A chart in the memo estimated potential new TPS eligibility for roughly 1.5 million Guatemalans, 600,000 Ecuadorians, 464,000 Nicaraguans, 455,000 Venezuelans, and smaller populations from Ukraine, Sudan, and Afghanistan — figures Schmitt said totaled more than 3.1 million people.
