Swedish parliament passes immigration laws including 'good behaviour' and reporting requirements.
Sweden's parliament voted to pass a 'good behaviour' law allowing authorities to revoke residence permits based on conduct such as unpaid debts or criminal links, applying retroactively to current residents. Parliament also narrowly approved a 'snitch law' requiring certain public sector workers to report undocumented migrants to police, with exemptions for teachers, doctors and social workers. Both laws are part of a broader immigration crackdown by the centre-right government supported by the Sweden Democrats ahead of September elections.
