Прочитал первый линк. Там "разоблачается" статья AP о том, что Трамп подумывает об использовании National Guard для борьбы с нелегальной иммиграцией. Погуглил (почему-то в статье-"разоблачении" не нашлось ссылки на разоблачаемое - странно несколько), нашел то самое мемо, о котором пишут. Все верно, ничего не соврали. Отговорки администрации о том, что никто всерьез об этом не думал выглядят несколько странно - разве что они рутинно пишут документы от имени Джона Келли - as a joke.

Despite the AP's public release of the document, White House spokesman Sean Spicer said there was "no effort at all to utilize the National Guard to round up unauthorized immigrants." A DHS official described the document as a very early draft that was not seriously considered and never brought to Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly for approval.

However, DHS staffers said Thursday that they had been told by colleagues in two DHS departments that the proposal was still being considered as recently as Feb. 10. DHS spokeswoman Gillian Christensen declined to say who wrote the memo, how long it had been under consideration or when it had been rejected.
