Migration Minister Johan Forssell (M) states that teenagers at risk of deportation should be able to complete their high school education. The government has requested a proposal to grant these students more time in Sweden. No decision on a timeline has been made yet.
Migration Minister Johan Forssell (M) spoke in Ekot's Saturday interview about teenagers facing deportation after turning 18, even though their families are allowed to stay in Sweden. He emphasized that students attending high school should be able to finish their education.
"Students who are in high school should stay in high school and complete it," Forssell told the radio.
The government has requested a proposal that could give the affected group more time to complete high school. Previously, both Forssell and Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson (M) have referred to an inquiry that may include a possible solution for these cases. The teenage deportations have been criticized from various quarters because they affect young people whose families have residence permits.
No information has been provided on when a government decision might be expected. The proposal aims to address the situation for these students without specifying exact details.
