Families in Sweden are facing deportation due to the country's immigration crackdown. One family, originally from Uzbekistan, has been living in Sweden since 2008. After unsuccessfully seeking refugee status, they now face deportation. Another family, originally from Iraq, is also facing deportation despite having a child born in Sweden. These families now reside in asylum return centers, causing extreme anxiety and impacting their well-being. Many held jobs and speak Swedish.
