Christian Democrats Propose Third-Country Deportations in Sweden

Sweden may deport foreign nationals to non-EU third countries.

This applies to people with final deportation orders.

The Christian Democrats made the proposal in a new security report.

The Christian Democrats are part of Sweden's governing Tidö coalition.

They outlined the plan in their Trygghetsrapport security report.

Sweden would make cooperation agreements with third-country hosts.

Deported people would move to these host countries first.

They could then return home or find residence elsewhere.

The party highlighted a long-standing problem in Sweden.

Some foreigners receive final deportation decisions from Sweden.

However, their home countries refuse to accept them back.

These individuals often stay in special Swedish housing for years.

Other Swedish politicians also support third-country deportations.

Ludvig Aspling from the Sweden Democrats favored return hubs outside the EU.

He called return hubs his top reform idea before the election.

The Local reported this policy proposal.
