Denmark: All foreigners convicted must be deported
Published at 09:12
Currently, the length of time a foreign citizen has stayed in Denmark determines, among other things, if the person is deported or not. The Danish government wants to change that and ensure that all foreign citizens who are sentenced are not allowed to remain in the country.

Foreign citizens are overrepresented in the Danish crime statistics and too often commit serious crimes, for example in the gang environment, states the country's immigration and integration minister Kaare Dybvad Bek, and now they want to tighten the rules for the group.

Today, the longer a foreign citizen has stayed in Denmark, the more serious the crime and the punishment must be for the person to be deported.

Now they want a foreign citizen who is sentenced to an unconditional prison sentence to always leave the country, regardless of the time in Denmark and the length of the sentence.

- The hammer must fall even harder. Therefore, we want to tighten the rules so that we can get even more criminal aliens deported. Every criminal alien deported by Denmark is a victory for the legal society and a victory for our country, says Kaare Dybvad Bek .

The tightening requires an amendment to the law, and the new rules are expected to come into force by 1 July 2025.
