After years of dealing with immigrant gang violence and crime, Stockholm aims to make it harder for asylum seekers to remain in the country.

Police say gangs often recruit teenagers via social media and encrypted messaging apps, offering payment for carrying out attacks.

Right-wing officials say that “step by step” they are “making Sweden safe again.”

Four others have been charged with related crimes and prosecutors have not given up on finding the “instigators” who ordered the murders.
