Tl;dr the author transported illegal refugees to Sweden, despite suspecting it to be illegal; is somehow upset for being sued

"Illegal refugees". What a lovely phrase you've come up with. I'm sure people will stop fleeing a war if you tell them that it's illegal.

Sorry, minced my words there. Of course there's no such thing as an illegal refugee.

Technically the author did not, nor the husband, transport the refugees to Sweden. They helped them with tickets to the train.
"So my husband offered them a lift to the train station on the Danish side of the border. He bought them tickets to Helsingborg and made sure they got on the right train."
Then it is actually the Danish State Railways responsibility to make sure they aren't transporting any illegal immigrants across the border. And that has since then been the case. You can't board the train to Sweden any longer without valid ID.
