Sweden votes to back laws reinforcing its immigration crackdown
Sweden’s parliament approved laws allowing authorities to revoke residency permits based on 'bad behaviour' and requiring public sector workers to report suspected undocumented individuals. The legislation, criticized by opposition and rights groups, is part of a crackdown on immigration ahead of September elections, with the government relying on far-right Sweden Democrats' support.
