The title is all this site is willing to divulge to me.

I just took the train into the city, had a burger & beer, and soon I'll train back home. I have zero worries about my safety.

Anyway, the Right party pulled the balance of power from the Left and formed a centre/right coalition more than a year ago, because of all the bad people coming here and doing bad things. Weren't they going to fix this?

Are they deporting immigrants (regardless of country of origin) involved in violent crimes? Genuine question.

I know rehabilitation is different in Europe than the US, but there are likely resource constraints for attempting to do so at scale looking at trailing immigration volume.

That's also the life of millions in Ukraine right now so your anecdote doesn't mean much

Looking at the statistics and historical trends paint another picture, of course this isn't El Salvador, but it doesn't mean it's going in the right direction

While this does indeed sound like a problem for Sweden and something they will have to fix, it's worth pointing out that by my calculation the US fatal assault by fire arm rate is 12X the rate that is causing a crisis in Sweden.
