Denmark has postponed the implementation of a new law that would mandate the deportation of foreign nationals convicted of serious crimes. The law, which was scheduled to take effect on May 1st, has been delayed due to a snap election held in late March. It would apply to any migrant person sentenced to more than one year in prison. The postponement leaves the timeline for the controversial policy's enactment uncertain.
