When Ilya was 8 years old he came to Sweden from Iran with mother, then went through all of the regular school which ends at age 18/19 in Sweden.
Ilya had temporary residency because Ilya as his mother's son is a close family member, but when Ilya turned 15 they applied for permanent residency also for Ilya, reports major newspaper Aftonbladet.

Then nothing happened for 3 years,
until "a few days after I turned 18 we got a letter home from the Migration Agency that they would now begin processing our application", says Ilya.

Then 7 months after Ilya turned 18 there came a ruling from the Migration Agency: His mother got permanent residency, but Ilya shall be deported, because he now no longer counts as close family of his mother, even though still living with mother and going to last year of school.
Ilya was going to be deported Feb 13, today, but due to the pause in deportations to Iran due to the massacres he can continue going to school until deportations resume.

"If they hadn't waited several years before handling my case I would have been allowed to continue my life here. I have lived here for over 10 years, I hardly remember anything from Iran", says Ilya, "It is unfair that our futures are destroyed by application processing times".

Public Service radio reporter: "Now there is sharp criticism from the Ombudsman for Children [govt agency: https://www.barnombudsmannen.se/english/] against the declaration that baby Emanuel who is 8 months old [pic right side] has gotten a deportation decision in spite of that the parents get to stay in Sweden. Ombudsman for Children, Juno Blom [pic left side]:"

The Ombudsman for Children: "This of course is not compatible with the Convention on the Rights of the Child, and all common sense says so. It is definitely not worthy of Sweden as a country. […] That it is even possible to interpret a law in such a way that one shall be able to deport an 8 months old baby to Iran, certainly we all then realize that the law has become completely wrong. This should not be possible. I also believe that it is caused by that one has not included the child's perspective when one makes vast changes and therefore it becomes so important that one always, when making vast changes, look at 'how does that affect children?' and take that into consideration, so we avoid this kind of insane outcomes."

Leader of hate-based party which rules the govt belatedly objected too following major public outrage, with proposed "solution" deportation of the baby be paused until "when the parents" (who have residency permits) are deported.

Today Gabriella, 8, is deported from Sweden, away from grandma, after being born and grown up in Sweden, but new rules meant dad Jonathan's salary isn't enough for the anti-immigration minimum and while mommy Silvia salary is over the limit that doesn't matter because Silvia's residency permit was as related to Jonathan, so they're all kicked out to El Salvador and only once they are there are allowed to start looking for new employment, after which they can apply for work permit, Gabriella come back home to Sweden again, and the family reunited... unless rules change for the worse again.

Jonathan Perez and family were just 2 months from being able to apply for permanent residency, but now being deported they would have to start accumulating time lived in Sweden again from zero, to be allowed to apply next time.

"All the years vanished. Everything we learned, everything we acquired. We must start from zero again", Jonathan told major newspaper Aftonbladet.
"We will come back to Gabriella home country", said Silvia on being forced to leave Forsbacka, the only place Gabriella has lived.
Forsbacka held two torch marches, a demo and more for getting to keep the family, but now they will hold a big party in Forsbacka when the Perez come back home.
