Swedish police face tough task deporting failed asylum seekers

[Daneman]

Sweden's Migration Agency expects to hand over around 50,000 deportation orders to the police in the coming years, but authorities are already struggling to deport those who have been told to leave.
When a person receives a negative reply to their asylum application, they are in the first instance asked to leave the country voluntarily. In the next instance the case gets handed over to the police.

Police have so far this year deported more than 3,000 unsuccessful asylum seekers in this way. But they are currently working with around 17,000 cases, and of those 12,000 have gone underground.

The remaining 5,000 face further obstacles, according to the head of the border police, who told broadcaster SVT on Sunday that a large part of those cannot be deported for various reasons.

"It could be countries that won't accept them, or that their identity can't be confirmed. The 12,000 who have gone underground are of course even more difficult," Patrik Engström told SVT.

The Migration Agency expects that around 50,000 deportation cases will be handed over to police authorities in the next few years as Sweden continues to process a backlog of asylum applications.

"It's an enormous challenge. It will require a strong boost of resources and modified working methods. We need to work closer to the Migration Agency and get these cases earlier. At the same time we need a balance between voluntary returns – as the legislature wants – and the need for coercion," said Engström.

Sweden's border police have previously expressed fears that there could be an increase in undocumented migrants in the country who are vulnerable to crime and exploitation.

"There are people who become victims of crime and people who commit crimes. It would be an extremely unfortunate development," Engström told SVT on Sunday.

In April, the Swedish government proposed new measures to try to help improve the success rate in deportation cases, including giving police an increased ability to carry out inspections of workplaces.

A high-profile example of someone police were looking for after being handed a deportation order is Stockholm terror attack suspect Rakhmat Akilov, who disappeared after getting a deportation decision in December 2016.

They really should keep them in facilities in which they can't escape from if they get application denied! What's the government over there thinking? You can't just let them roam and expect them to leave voluntarily! It has to be handled forcefully from the start!

You should and on the other hand you shouldn't.
I feel sorry for those who left out of fear en terror and have nothing left to go back to, but I also agree that they shouldn't overload countries capacities witch leads to so much bad shit for the national population.

They should be locked up untill they are shipped home if they are denied stay here, two times we have had shit going on because of denied asylum seekers.

One time a guy murdered two swedes on ikea when he was denied stay and then we have the terrorist killing 5 people with a truck, a guy who should have been kicked out.

Same happened in finland not long ago, killed two women when he was denied stay. And a afgan killed a women in germany to when denied, im sure there have been more cases.

Oh yeah they guy who raped a girl infront of her boyfriend a thread we had a while back here on mmo-c.


With that said i dont think it's safe letting them roam free after being denied stay. Atleast not the males, yepp sorry males but you fucked up lol.

I don't believe it's as tough as the lead on.

Systems are important. If you're going to have an asylum process that allows people to hang around untracked while their application is processed, it's only correct to also have a system to find them (or those who evade) when necessary.

Those systems and the staffing of them need to be scalable with use and demand. That's the issue here, they took in a big bubble of asylum seekers and didn't plan for the inevitable rise in deportations that would have to be processed. Instead they punted and laid it on the police.

I think captain Sweden will stop it.

Well, if they would immediately cut off all welfare payments to those people, they would eventually deport themselves.

He's posted basically the same thread over a hundred times. He's a clear xenophobe who hates foreigners and Sweden. It's his thing on these threads. We all have to have our own thing.
