The Tidö parties are opening up to letting teenagers with final expulsion decisions stay in Sweden. Migration Minister Johan Forssell and SD leader Jimmie Åkesson have signaled support for a temporary pause.

The Tidö parties had previously paused teenage deportations until new legislation is in place. However, decisions that have already gained legal force have not been covered by the pause.

SD leader Jimmie Åkesson says he has no problem with the Swedish Migration Agency also stopping the enforcement of expulsions. He wants to wait until new legislation is ready.

Rural Affairs Minister Peter Kullgren (KD) notes that it feels good if more people are allowed to stay. He adds that it does not feel good in the heart to see the consequences of the previous legislation.

Migration Minister Johan Forssell announced already in March that a referral to the Council on Legislation regarding teenage deportations will be ready by May at the latest. Work is ongoing according to Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson.

What people are saying

Recent posts discuss Tidö parties considering a pause on teenage deportations, with reactions including views on it as a strategic move to avoid pre-election debate, criticism of policy impacts on voters, and calls for more humane approaches without halting all deportations. Sentiments mix skepticism about motives, concerns over family splits, and references to public opinion polls against deporting rooted youth.
