Denmark to deport foreign nationals convicted of serious crimes starting May

Denmark plans automatic deportation of foreign nationals convicted of serious crimes, aiming to enhance national security. The new policy, effective May 1, targets individuals sentenced to at least one year in prison for offenses like assault and rape. Denmark is advocating for reforms to the European Convention on Human Rights to facilitate these deportations. This initiative reflects a broader tightening of Denmark's migration policies, including efforts to encourage voluntary returns and improve conditions in departure centers.
