British woman facing deportation from Sweden after 21 years under Brexit rules
- A British widow is facing deportation from Sweden after 21 years because authorities say she filled out her post-Brexit application form to stay too late.
- Joyce Thomas, 78, was initially given just four weeks to leave the country in November, three years after her husband died, according to The Guardian.
- It comes as Sweden enforces a tough crackdown on immigration, passing legislation last month allowing deportation on the grounds of bad behaviour and forcing public sector workers to report those who they suspect are in the country undocumented.
