European Union (Notification of Withdrawal) Bill

Is the Government’s position on EU citizens not based on a fiction? If they did not grant EU citizens the right to

stay, presumably they would remove those who could not stay from the United Kingdom, but the Minister for Immigration has said that the Government do not know where EU citizens are in order to remove them from the United Kingdom. It is an empty threat, so why cause all this stress?
