An estimated 100,000 people are in the country without a legal right to reside here. According to Migration Minister Johan Forssell (M), these include both people who live in vulnerability and people who may have committed crimes or pose a threat to Sweden's security.
The work should primarily be carried out by the border police and take place where there is concrete information that people are staying without permission.
"You should never carry out checks just because of ethnicity, it should be a well-founded suspicion," Forssell tells TV4 Nyheterna.
