This practice alert is intended to help advocates and practitioners grapple with the latest policy memo on discretion and adjustment of status dated May 21, 2026. Many announcements and summaries are circulating, and we stand with all of you in condemning the administration’s ongoing attack on immigrant communities. The memo is yet another plank of this administration’s racist, xenophobic agenda, designed to separate families and shut down immigration. While much remains uncertain about how this guidance will be implemented, we offer our initial analysis and reports from the field to support all of you who must zealously advocate for your clients and continue to fight against this latest attack. This alert contextualizes the memo, breaks down the law as it relates to adjustment and discretion, and provides tips for advising clients who already have pending adjustment applications or are considering filing.
