Law Sweden Deporting Young People - young people who turn 18 before obtaining permanent residency are no longer considered part of their parents’ family unit

Sweden Deporting Young People​

Forced Out as They ‘Age Out,’ as Families Remain

Ayla, 21, Jomana, 18, and Ilya, 19, came to Sweden as children, though at different ages and under different circumstances. Today they face the same reality: all have been ordered to leave the country alone while their families remain.

These cases stem from Sweden’s increasingly restrictive migration policy, under which young people who turn 18 before obtaining permanent residency are no longer considered part of their parents’ family unit. The Swedish Migration Agency states that residency based on parental ties is granted only in exceptional cases involving “special dependency.” A normal parent-child relationship is not sufficient.

On February 17, 2025, a multiparty proposal to stop these deportations did not gain a majority in the Parliamentary Committee on Social Insurance, despite cross-party recognition that the practice separates families.

Jomana Gad, 18, arrived in Sweden at age 4 and faces deportation to Egypt. “I have my whole life here,” she told media, describing her hopes for education and work. Ayla Rostami, 21, who arrived at 15, recalls seeing Sweden as a place of freedom. Ilya Taheraki, 19, came at age 8 and applied for permanent residency at 15. He was rejected days after turning 18. He and Ayla now face deportation to Iran.

Young people cannot be deported from Sweden if they have permanent residency, but many children spend years in the country on temporary permits. Combined with long processing times and increasingly restrictive policies—including stricter family reunification rules, higher income requirements, and narrowed humanitarian protection such as limits on “particularly distressing circumstances”—the safeguards that keep families together have weakened. As a result, some “age out” at 18 and lose their right to remain in the country as they can no longer claim residency based on ties to their parents.

Sweden is a party to both the European Convention on Human Rights and the Convention on the Rights of the Child, under which failing to prioritize the best interest of the child and to protect the private and family lives of children and young adults within the context of immigration is a violation of the country’s international legal obligations.

Instead, Sweden should halt deportations that separate young adults from their families and ensure children’s asylum and family reunification cases are processed without delays that cause them to age out of protection. The government should also create clear pathways to residency reflecting the years individuals have spent in Sweden, including schooling and community ties, and reintroduce humanitarian grounds for “particularly distressing circumstances.”

They have to go back too. Economic migration basically shouldn't be a thing. Merit-based migration (for the very top jobs only) and marriage should be the only ways in. Zero tolerance for a lack of integration either. The mosques have to be torn down and there has to be no more of that pedo religion outside of the shithole countries.

Marriage for immigration shouldn't be a thing either. A shit load of those are boomers and losers who can't rate getting long conned by someone so they can immigrate and not genuine relationships.

People who chat online from other countries aren't in a relationship and people who travel to "find love" are just sex tourists. They should not be entertained.

and marriage should be the only ways in

I'm gonna have to disagree with this part. This is how we get boomers bringing in a bunch of impoverished women from third world shit holes

It's much better to focus on allowing people that will help improve the country, while making sure that you're not taking a spot away from an equally competent Swede.

 

[God of Nothing]

ah yes
"young people"

How are the parents able to acquire PR, yet the children remain stuck in legal limbo? Sounds like an underfunded and understaffed government agency.

Permanent residence isn't heritable. A child dependent can remain until they turn 18, at which point they have to apply independently for pr and can be rejected. It appears sweden has tightened the criteria for acceptance.

Unfortunately good people pay for the mistakes or retards

Like the girls who are raped?
I say for every 1 brown who rapes a native girl, 100 get deported. We can start with the rapists entire family, then neighbours, then anyone who came from the same village back in their homeland untill we hit 100. They'll either stop raping (lol), or they'll all be deported in a very short time.

So this article is several months old and they already folded to the journalist pressure and backed off from doing this.

In case you all missed the above post, THE SWEDISH GOVERNMENT CUCKED TO THE LEFTY JOURNOS IN THE OP AND WALKED BACK THIS DECISION. The right-wing ruling government did this, by the way. On an election year no less, when they face a genuine risk of losing to the left because they did fuck all on their primary campaign promise: to reduce immigration. 100k dysgenic brown parasites received citizenship in Sweden every year while the right-wing coalition was in government.

Doomers BTFO

You know, I fucking hate this shit.

The way NO FUCKING PARTY or ideology in our world any more other than actual Donald Trump can say "hey, cool, we won something! We accomplished something we set out to do!"

Everyone else on the left or right constantly pretends their group has never achieved anything. Libs are still acting like the South is basically Jim Crow and that gays and troons are imminently at risk of being bashed and left for dead anywhere less progressive than the Castro. Conservatives absolutely, categorically refuse to believe they've achieved anything on immigration restrictions in the many countries where huge reductions have been made.

"B-b-b-b-but we spent so much time and focus group money honing these arguments! We can't give them up just because we won something!"

Doomers won unfortunately (see above), and what Sweden also did was to reduce the flow of new migrants that were applying for asylum specifically, while doing nothing to stop migrants who were applying for family reunification. With the amount of incest and clan behavior from their deserts/swamps of origin, this means the flood is still going strong. The total number of migrants per year and their ethnic distribution remained the same under the left-wing and right-wing government. I'm not saying (Swedish You) should vote for the left this year, but the right isn't keeping their promises either.

I say for every 1 brown who rapes a native girl, 100 get deported. We can start with the rapists entire family, then neighbours, then anyone who came from the same village back in their homeland untill we hit 100. They'll either stop raping (lol), or they'll all be deported in a very short time.

Since Sweden wants to be so diverse and worship everything foreign, we should inherit the ancient Chinese custom of the Nine Familial Exterminations and apply it to every criminal invader.

With this and the other recent story about Sweden getting involved in negotiations with the Taliban about returning Afghanis, I'm really scratching my head over Sweden's strategy here. Surely, if you were FINALLY getting into the deporting-people business in 2026 A.D., wouldn't it make more sense to start with the low-hanging fruit of folks whose countries are not involved in any serious conflicts and have just no basis at all to argue for refugee status or asylum? Wouldn't that give you more of a bang for your buck? Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia, I'm looking at you guys here.

(I know. The answer is that they probably don't want to succeed.)

I will state an unpopular opinion here. I am pro-immigration. I believe humans should have freedom of movement. This doesn't mean we should open the borders, but if you want to move to a country, work and pay for your stay from your own pocket you should be able to.

This means no welfare. You sustain yourself and if you can't you move somewhere where you can.

As much as I dislike jeets, niggers etc I don't complain as long they work and contribute to the economy.

Children who move in with working parents can get their own visas and still have time to integrate.

The only downside is a potential lack of jobs, but freedom of movement works both ways, and you shouldn't be getting g out-competed by niggers as a white man.

As far as I know, it's the Danes who are doing a pretty good job at not polluting their country, and pointing at Sweden as a prime example on how not to do it.

Denmark has retarded immigration policies too. They let all the nigger criminals live off welfare while deporting children of working families, keep women in abusive relationships hostage etc.

Ive been all over Europe and can't name a country with immigration policies I'd consider great. Maybe Czechia or Poland?

Unfortunately, reality doesn't bear this out. It's a race to the bottom as multiple industries, especially IT, replace competent and hardworking White workers with bottom of the barrel Indians, all in the name of saving a few bucks. And no one is moving to India to find work.

IT is an exception because it's an industry with little human interaction, but in human-oriented industries it matters for the client that the workers are of their culture/race (thus white workers are inherently worth more), and it matters for cohesion between employees.

The reason why you only see white people doing door to door sales is literally because people get scared of niggers and shut the door.

You can't save money on work ethic because without hard workers the whole company collapses. Some companies learn this later than others.

Imagine being such a selfish piece of shit you'd let your daughter be deported to fucking iran. She will be labeled a western spy and raped to death in Evin. The guy too.
