Sweden has disclosed for the first time that 458 British nationals were deported or forcibly removed by police following the United Kingdom’s exit from the European Union.
This revelation sheds light on the scope of expulsions targeting individuals who were unable to secure residency permits in Sweden after the Brexit transition period. The disclosure has intensified scrutiny regarding the nation’s immigration enforcement.
Critics argue that the government’s approach toward UK citizens—who established homes in Sweden prior to Brexit—has been excessively harsh and insensitive. The newly publicized figures highlight the human impact of the country’s strict enforcement measures during a period of significant legal uncertainty for long-term residents.
