THE GUARDIAN: Scale of deportations made public for first time amid criticism of hardline approach to UK citizens
Sweden has confirmed 458 British citizens have been deported or forcibly removed by police since Brexit.
It is the first time the scale of the deportations of citizens who failed to secure residency in Sweden post-Brexit has been made public and comes amid mounting criticism of a cruel and hardline approach to Britons who had chosen to make the country their home before Brexit.
Some have been told to go after more than 25 years in the country and even vulnerable elderly people with dementia have been affected. One man was deported even though he had lived in the country since he was 10 years old. » | Lisa O’Carroll | Senior correspondent | Saturday, September 5, 2026
