Migration Minister Johan Forssell has reportedly rejected a proposed temporary law to halt the deportation of teenagers with temporary residence permits. The opposition's attempt to pass such a law will be decided next week. The so-called teenage deportations have been heavily criticized recently, as they involve young people receiving deportation orders when they turn 18, even though their parents have the right to stay.
In a meeting of the parliamentary social insurance committee, the Green Party, with support from the Social Democrats, the Left Party, and the Centre Party, presented a proposal for temporary legislation to stop the deportations until a long-term solution is in place.
