The Green Party's migration policy spokesperson Annika Hirvonen says to the TV channel that the decision is "completely contrary to the constitution".
The government cannot interfere with individual authority, says Hirvonen.
The Migration Agency tightened controls last year, but the government wants them to be tightened further against the backdrop of the serious security situation and the risk of security-threatening individuals coming to Sweden, according to TV4.
Migration Minister Johan Forssell (The Moderate Party) says that it is the government's utmost responsibility to protect Sweden from individuals who pose a security threat.
It is remarkable that the Green Party takes Sweden's security so lightly. This shows the differences in Swedish politics, he says to the channel.
