(Local) The government and Danish People’s Party (DF) have agreed new rules that will enable authorities to withdraw passports from individuals found to have fought for militant groups abroad.
The new rules will provide for an administrative process that will enable passports to be revoked without going through the courts, the Ministry of Immigration and Integration announced.
Immigration minister Inger Støjberg said in a statement that she was “very satisfied” with the agreement.
“These people have gone to fight against democracy, freedom and everything Denmark stands for, and they do not belong in Denmark,” Støjberg said.
In addition to the new provision on passports, the government and its parliamentary ally DF have also agreed to change citizenship rules.
