Swedish red-green parties reach consensus on draft law halting deportations of young adults
The Social Democrats, Left, Centre and Green parties have agreed on the wording of a stop-deportation law for young adults.
After a meeting of the Riksdag's Social Insurance Committee, the four red-green parties confirmed they share a common draft for a law that would pause expulsions of young adults with residence permits based on family ties. Details of the exact thresholds remain undisclosed. The Migration Agency previously suspended removals for a similar group during the last term, but it is unclear if it will repeat the pause under the new proposal.
Why it matters
It could change how Sweden handles deportations of young adults with family-based residence permits.
