Swedish MP intervenes over deportation of British citizens stripped of residency after Brexit

Swedish MP Håkan Svenneling has written to migration minister Johan Forssell demanding action to halt deportations of British citizens losing residency rights post-Brexit. The case of 78-year-old widow Joyce Thomas — given four weeks to leave Sweden after 21 years of residence — has drawn particular attention. Svenneling warned the deportations are damaging Sweden–UK relations.
