A short while ago, the government made the decision on the important issue of finding a way out for the teenagers we have been discussing for some time and who risked being harmed by the reforms to family immigration, said Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson (M) at a press conference in Norrköping.

Teenage deportations involve young people whose parents have the right to be in Sweden, but who themselves do not meet the requirements for their own residence permit when they turn 18.

The government and the SD will hold a press conference at 1 p.m. with further information about the details of the decision.

I'm not going to say much more about it right now, but I'm very happy that we have been able to resolve the issue in exactly the way we said, and in the time we said, and now the Riksdag will take a position on the bill during the summer, Kristersson said.

We have agreed on a solution that I think is good, he continued.

It was in March that the Tidö parties announced that the so-called teenage expulsions would be paused pending new legislation. This after a number of cases were highlighted in the media.

Since then, the Tidö parties have one by one opened the way for young people who have already received deportation orders to remain in Sweden, something the opposition has demanded.
