Sweden passes ‘good behavior’ law to deport migrants with bad conduct

Sweden’s parliament passed a law on Monday allowing authorities to revoke immigrants’ residency permits based on bad behavior, ​such as having unpaid debts, doing undeclared work or ‌links to extremist organizations, Reuters writes.

The law, which covers pending permits but also retroactively already granted permits, is part of a wider tightening of immigration ​rules.

The law has been criticized by the opposition and ​human rights advocacy groups as arbitrary because decisions would be taken ​on behaviour that has not been deemed criminal.
