In Sweden, a recent decision has exempted school and healthcare staff from the obligation to report undocumented individuals, a move that has sparked significant discussion.

The proposal, initially part of the Tidö Agreement, aimed to enforce an 'information duty' on public employees to report undocumented people.

However, after widespread protests from teachers, nurses, and social workers, the government decided to exclude these professions from the requirement.

Maria Liljedahl, a teacher and member of the Sweden Democrats, expressed her willingness to comply with such a law but emphasized her commitment to report to social services if a child's welfare is at risk.

Critics argue that the proposal, even in its revised form, could still instill fear among undocumented individuals, deterring them from seeking essential services.

The debate highlights the tension between enforcing immigration laws and upholding human rights, with many viewing the exemption as a victory for civil rights advocates.
