In a recent letter to the editor published in Dagens Nyheter, Göran Lundh expresses outrage over the treatment of immigrants by Sweden's Migration Agency, paralleling it with the actions of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Lundh questions why there is not the same level of anger directed towards the Swedish government's handling of migration issues, especially concerning the treatment of immigrants who have integrated into Swedish society. He points out that many tailored lives in Sweden, studying, working, and contributing to the economy are still forced to leave the country when they reach adulthood, despite their efforts to adapt.

The letter emphasizes the emotional distress caused by these policies, particularly on young people who are just turning 18. While their parents and siblings may be permitted to stay in Sweden, these young adults are sent back to countries that feel foreign, exacerbating the trauma of separation from their families. Lundh raises poignant questions regarding the value placed on family bonds and continuity between parents and children as they transition into adulthood. He advocates for reconsideration of such policies that disregard the deep emotional and social connections that persist despite legal definitions of adulthood.

Overall, Lundh's letter encapsulates a growing concern among advocates and citizens about the humanitarian implications of Sweden's migration policies, urging for greater empathy and consideration for individuals' stories rather than a rigid enforcement of immigration laws. He calls for public discourse to emphasize human rights and the collective responsibility to uphold family unity.
