Other Parts of the Bill
The remaining parts of the bill on strengthened return enforcement
What's at stake: The package includes, among other things, a lower threshold for internal immigration checks and expanded powers to establish a person's identity, including confiscating phones and other devices. It therefore affects both the authorities' ability to carry out removals and deportations and the risk that people of foreign background - including those who have the right to remain in Sweden - face more checks.

What the vote decides
The question is whether the Riksdag should adopt the remaining parts of the bill - including changes to the Code of Judicial Procedure, the Citizenship Act, the Aliens Act and the Aliens Data Act - as the government has designed them, or instead reject the proposition in this part with the exception of the rules on removal obstacles and the right to counsel.
Yes Yes — the committee proposal
The committee stresses that effective, well-functioning return enforcement is a precondition for a sustainable long-term migration policy. Concerns that the disclosure duty and the expanded controls could reduce trust in public institutions and make foreign nationals avoid contact with authorities are not seen as needing to be exaggerated, since better cooperation between authorities and more effective return enforcement could instead increase trust in the state. The committee therefore proposes that the Riksdag adopt the remaining parts of the bill.
No No — the reservations
Reservation 3 (V, MP)
The reservation (V, MP) argues that the proposals fail to solve the problems of a 'shadow society' and that fear of contact with authorities risks increasing even in situations where people need help, protection or basic support, making them more vulnerable and weakening society's ability to detect exploitation. The reservers warn that a lower threshold for internal immigration checks and the new disclosure duty open the door to risks of racial and ethnic profiling, and that expanded powers to establish identity - including confiscating phones and other devices for up to three months - amount to a disproportionate intrusion into private life. They therefore want to reject the proposition in this part, with the exception of the rules on removal obstacles and the right to counsel.

Riksdag decision: The government wants to make return work more efficient and implement several changes to, among other things, the Aliens Act. The Riksdag voted yes to the government's proposal.
To make return work more efficient, the government proposes that the Police Authority and the Migration Board shall receive better tools to enforce deportation and expulsion decisions. The government proposes a new obligation for the Employment Service, the Social Insurance Agency, the Prison and Probation Service, the Enforcement Authority, the Pensions Authority and the Tax Authority to on their own initiative provide information about an alien to the Police Authority, if there is reason to believe that he or she does not have the right to reside in Sweden.
The proposal also means that the authorities are given additional tools to clarify an alien's identity. A possibility is introduced to take custody of and search an alien's mobile telephone, if it can be assumed to contain information about the alien's identity. Furthermore, fingerprints and photographs shall be allowed to be used in alien matters to a greater extent and more efficiently than today.
The law amendments start to apply on 13 July 2026.
Counter-proposals
The counter-proposal wants to protect people's willingness to seek help from authorities without automatic police reporting. (V, MP) — Reservation 3
