A heated debate unfolded in SVT's Aktuellt between migration minister Johan Forssell (M) and Annika Hirvonen (MP) on deportations of teenagers raised in Sweden. The issue of separating 18-year-olds from their families sparked strong reactions, as the opposition calls for legal changes. The government is considering transitional rules for young people dependent on their parents.
An opposition motion by the Green and Left Parties for an immediate moratorium on all teenage deportations—including legally binding decisions—was narrowly defeated in parliament, 148-147. This follows the government's announcement last week of a limited pause pending new laws. Critics call it a betrayal, while ministers eye a solution soon.

The case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was erroneously deported to El Salvador despite a court order, has spotlighted growing errors in U.S. immigration removals. Lawyers report a surge in similar wrongful deportations as the administration pursues aggressive targets. Advocates attribute the mistakes to the haste of operations, raising concerns over legal protections for immigrants.
