Sweden Grants State Power to Revoke Immigrant Residency on Conduct

Sweden's parliament passed a law June 15 allowing authorities to revoke residency permits based on immigrant conduct. The provision, critics argue, is legally unprecedented in the EU. Combined with the June 9 abolition of permanent residence permits, Sweden has dismantled pathways to settlement. A September election may shift implementation, but unwinding the multi-statute overhaul requires fresh parliamentary majorities on each component.
