1.4 million non-American residents will be expelled from the United States, according to a list that the ICE authority has released.
120 of them are from Sweden.
– We review what people this could be, says Migration Minister Johan Forssell (M) to TV4 News.
Forssell says that the government does not know who the 120 people are, and whether, for example, they stay in the United States without permission.
We have not received so much information yet about this, but of course we look at it and look at what people this could be and what the foundation is for it and if these are security matters, he tells TV4 News.
The figure over 120 people from Sweden is on one list from the ICE authority, which works to protect US borders from border crime and illegal immigrants, which Fox News has published.
Over 7,000 arrested
The people on the list have been informed that they have to leave the country, and where the United States is trying to get them deported.
– We are in contact with authorities and we also try to gather information about who the individuals are, what the foundation is for this, says Forssell.
The immigrants on the list come from all over the world, although the majority are from Latin America. From the Nordic countries there are 22 people from Finland, 120 from Sweden, 39 from Norway, 45 from Denmark and 5 from Iceland.
Since Donald Trump became president on January 20, ICE has increased efforts to find people in the United States without being entitled to it. According to Fox, the authorities have detained more than 7,400 people in several states in nine days.
