This still isn't true. There are many legitimate issues with integrating immigrant populations into fairly insular and homogeneous societies. People lying about the magnitude of those problems really, really discredit efforts to make them better though.
Swedish police are incredibly well trained.. it's absurd to think they've just abandoned parts of major cities, especially when those cities are safer than most large cities in the US.
Malmo, the 'center' of all of the alleged police no-go zones has a murder rate equal to that of San Diego.. It's 90% lower than the murder rate in Chicago. The overall murder rate is dramatically lower than the rate in the US:

It's really bizarre how the right wing in the US has chosen Sweden as the symbol for their refugee distrust when there's very little evidence that their problems are anything more than those seen by every major city with large impoverished populations of any background.
