Memo Suggests Biden Administration Anticipated Higher Immigration Levels Before Trump Took Office

  • Senator Eric Schmitt published a Biden-era White House memo revealing plans to expand Temporary Protected Status to shield over 3.1 million noncitizens from deportation, including gang members, before the Trump administration took office.
  • Senior Biden advisors proposed expanding TPS to migrants from countries such as Guatemala, Ecuador, Nicaragua, and Venezuela, anticipating legal challenges to prevent efforts to end protections.
  • The memo indicated that TPS applications take six months to process, implying that new applicants during Biden's final weeks would be processed under the Trump administration, potentially creating legal backlogs.
  • Although the full expansion was not implemented, the memo preceded significant TPS extensions protecting nearly one million noncitizens and reflected coordinated efforts by Biden's team and lawmakers to safeguard migrants from deportation.
