In a poignant commentary, Björn Wiman addresses the troubling issue of deportations in Sweden, where individuals who have deep roots in the country are sent away despite there being no state-funded stormtroopers on the streets. Wiman argues that this practice is not just immoral and inhumane, but rather a manifestation of madness. His remarks resonate with the current climate of humanitarian concern in Sweden, particularly regarding the treatment of migrants and asylum seekers who have integrated into society.

Wiman draws parallels with the music of Billy Bragg, an artist known for his politically charged lyrics. He references Bragg's new song, 'City of Heroes,' which tackles themes of violence and governmental overreach in the context of the U.S. immigration enforcement. This comparison serves to emphasize the broader implications of how societies treat marginalized groups and the rising anger and frustration voiced by artists like Bragg in response to these issues.

The piece challenges readers to reflect on the morality of deportation policies in Sweden and the mentalities that support them. By framing these practices as madness, Wiman calls for a reassessment of values and actions towards those who have begun to call Sweden their home. His critique underlines an urgent need for compassionate and humane policy change in the face of ongoing global migration crises.
