A 21-year-old woman in Sweden faces deportation to Egypt next week despite a recent pause on youth expulsions, according to reports. Nardine Raed Awad, who came to Sweden from Egypt as a 17-year-old in August 2022 with her mother, has been living in Flemingsberg, Huddinge, south of Stockholm. She reportedly became hopeful when the Tidö parties announced a pause on youth expulsions, but her deportation order has gained legal force and must be enforced, according to the Swedish Migration Agency.
Jesper Tengroth, press officer at the Migration Agency, stated that decisions that have gained legal force cannot be overturned and must be carried out. Awad must reportedly leave the country in a week. According to Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson, it is reportedly possible to submit a new application, but this requires leaving the country within the given time to avoid a travel ban.

The Migration Agency reportedly says it will take time before Awad and others in her situation receive clear decisions on their future, as there is no legal paragraph to base decisions on for new applications submitted from abroad.
