The government has paused deportations of teenagers, according to officials. However, Mariam Noorali, 18, from Karlstad may be deported to Iraq because she has already received a deportation decision, officials said. The pause for teenage deportations does not apply to Mariam because she has already received a deportation decision, according to officials. The specific reasons for her deportation decision and when it was issued or is scheduled to be executed have not been disclosed. The government's rationale for pausing teenage deportations and how long this pause is expected to last remain unclear.

Mariam Noorali has started a UF company, a student enterprise, officials confirmed. According to SVT Värmland, Mariam Noorali described selling companionship time to the elderly through her business. One of the people she visits is 100-year-old Ulla Melin, officials said. According to SVT Värmland, Ulla Melin described Mariam as a cheerful face who pops in and chats, adding that without her, her life would be much more boring. Details of Mariam's UF company, such as its name, structure, and how long it has been operating, have not been provided.

A possibility for Mariam to return to Sweden is to apply for work and a residence permit from Iraq, officials noted. Mariam has appealed the deportation decision to the Migration Supreme Court, where the case is under consideration, according to officials. According to SVT Värmland, Mariam Noorali described the situation as looking dark for her and her family's case. The current status and timeline of the appeal at the Migration Supreme Court are unknown.

Mariam is a cheerful face who pops in here. She comes here and chats for a while. Without her, my life would be much more boring.
