After loud criticism of teenagers being deported while their parents are allowed to stay in Sweden, the so-called teenage deportations were paused pending new legislation - but that pause did not apply to decisions that had become legally binding. Now the Migration Minister tells Aftonbladet that he wants to see a solution for that group as well.

"If you do everything right, if you make an effort, study or work, and have not committed any crimes, then I think you should have a fair chance of finding a long-term future in Sweden. But it is of course complicated when it comes to legally binding decisions," says Johan Forssell.
