Thomas Delany and Jacob Rasmussen battle for the ballMIchael Barrett Boesen / Alamy / ProfimediaFC Copenhagen on Sunday afternoon crushed what seemed to be Brondby's final hope of winning the Danish title
when Frederik Birk's side were humiliated in their own stadium through a 0-3 defeat in the "New Firm" derbyFC Copenhagen recorded their third successive win in the Superliga championship playoffs and the biggest so far this season
FC Copenhagen's German goalkeeper Diant Ramaj played his first derby since three weeks ago where he head-butted Brondby's Thomas Mikkelsen and received a three-game suspension
the heavy pressure he faced did not seem to affect Ramaj
who was one of the main characters before the break
After just one minute, he saved his team, when Mathias Kvistgaarden was played through after Jacob Neestrup's side had lost possession in midfield
The visitors seemed somewhat overwhelmed at the start of the match and made a series of mistakes but FC Copenhagen gradually dug themselves back into the match but had problems finding space in Brondby's well-organized rearguard
In the other end Kvistgaarden was handed a new chance to get on the scoreboard after half an hour
when Benjamin Tahirovic delivered a wonderful through-ball for the Celtic-target Ramaj saved again
Brondby - FC Copenhagen - Player ratingsFlashareThe visitors took the lead a bit out of the blue barely ten minutes before the break
An initially harmless cross from Giorgi Gocholeishvili was flicked on by Thomas Delaney
and in-form Jordan Larsson made no mistake to open the score from close range to score his fourth foal in four games
The home side began the second half with a much-needed injection of energy and quickly created two good opportunities
the atmosphere never reached the level that usually characterizes a derby between the two top teams
when Victor Froholdt hammered the ball into the roof of the net after 63 minutes to make it 2-0

Denmark between 2012 and 2022 was hardly welcoming to foreign workers
With ever-tightening citizenship requirements and more complex work permit rules
But that didn't stop foreign workers from streaming into the capital, according to new statistics from the city government published on Friday
The number of foreign workers in Copenhagen more than doubled between 2012 and 2022 to around 107,000
Foreigners by 2022 were doing 12 percent of the jobs in the city
more than double their share in the rest of Denmark
The jobs they do are also increasingly high-end
37 percent of workers had a long tertiary education or PhD
Some 28 percent had a medium-length education (up from 18 percent)
and 13 percent had a short tertiary education (down from 22 percent)
Companies in Copenhagen have shown some success in recruiting the international workers they need
Only 50 percent of those who arrived in the Greater Copenhagen region in 2017 were still there five years later
compared to 55 percent of those who arrived in 2012
The retention rate actually improved for 'highly qualified international workers'
defined as international workers whose income within a year of entry is at or above the threshold for the pay limit scheme (514,000 kroner per year in 2025)
As many as 45 percent of those who arrived in 2017 were still in Denmark after five years
the 5-year retention rate for other international workers
decreased from 58 percent for those who arrived in 2012 to 51 percent for the 2017 arrivals
READ ALSO: What proportion of foreign nationals stay in Denmark for the long term?
the regional talent attraction and investment agency
"The improvement in retention rates for highly skilled workers is a testament to their value to Danish companies
which offer them attractive career opportunities," he said
the ability to transition smoothly into new jobs—whether arriving as job seekers
or moving from student to employment—has been pivotal."
When it came to the overall decline in retention rates
he said this could be largely attributed to "the difficulties internationals and expats face in feeling included at work and in society"
particularly the tougher language and self-sufficiency requirements enacted in 2015
almost certainly also played some role in reducing the retention rate
The Covid-19 pandemic also have influenced job opportunities and hence retention rates in 2020 and to a lesser extent 2021
especially in the restaurant and tourism industries
The government also tightened work permit rules over the period to favour more highly paid and highly skilled foreign workers
The origin of foreign workers in Denmark has also changed markedly
which could have impacted retention patterns
India was the most common country of origin for new international workers arriving in Copenhagen
shooting up from 15th place ten years earlier
The 5,400 Indian workers in the capital now constitute five percent of the international workforce
with India the 4th most frequent origin country
Indians are even more heavily represented among 'highly qualified international workers'
comprising 16 percent of this group in 2022
The number of some other nationals has declined
in 2012 the most common origin country among international workers from Asia
dropping to sixth position among Asian countries by 2022
Several countries in Europe have also fallen down the ranking
the second most frequent origin country in 2012
which was the 3rd most frequent origin country in 2012
and Norway fell from the 5th most frequent origin country in 2012 to the 8th in 2022
Copenhagen has been making progress on removing one of the biggest barriers to retaining skilled foreign workers
the problems their partners face in getting jobs
nearly 75 percent of the partners accompanying newly arrived international workers in Copenhagen were in employment in 2022
Overgaard put this success partly down to "targeted career programs for partners of international workers" such as the Copenhagen Career Program offered by International House Copenhagen
The change may have also reflect the significant drop in unemployment levels between 2012
when the country was still recovering from the financial crisis
to further increasing retention rates would be to make foreign workers feel more included socially
"Addressing these issues is essential for ensuring that Copenhagen remains an attractive and welcoming city for international talent."

women in peril and an angry phone-in host … we explore a show inspired by the director’s themes that refuses to shy away from his problematic side
As I try to find the entrance to Nikolaj Kunsthal
a gothic-style former church in Copenhagen
I hear the lamenting strings of Wagner’s Tristan und Isolde – the soundtrack to Lars von Trier’s 2011 end-of-the-world film Melancholia
and watch as a planet hurtles towards Earth
covered in white linen and laid out for the celebration of a lifetime – but clearly abandoned midway
and now adorned with dead flowers and burnt-out candelabras
black and white projections – a ticking clock
scenes of sex and drowning – play as the ominous male voice that features in Von Trier’s 1991 film Europa does a countdown
With the world still reeling from the arrival of Trump 2.0
and Europe at war amid increasing polarisation
looming AI takeover and the escalating climate emergency
even though it is intended to take viewers back to the visual world of the notorious Danish film-maker
“It is almost a new paradigm,” says Helene Nyborg Bay, artistic director of this arts venue, as she takes me round Breaking Darkness
“We had this belief in one united country or the United Nations after the second world war
Now we see there are new thoughts coming through
the exhibition has attracted unprecedented interest
with record numbers at the opening – 2,000 in three hours – including younger generations
“Lars von Trier is such a strong film-maker with such a strong aesthetic sense that he could be a visual artist,” says Bay who
believes that Von Trier’s work and its themes – love and despair
faith and human choice – have a lot to offer contemporary audiences
“On the other hand – he might have been ahead of his.”
this longtime Von Trier fan says she “was never offended by his way of looking at women”
although she concedes that some younger women have been
she says: “It’s interesting to have this dialogue.”
Clips from the films have been combined with designs and installations – even incorporating the architecture of the building – to recreate the themes and moods of five films made between 1991 and 2011: Melancholia
including a fur coat worn by Nicole Kidman in Dogville
and the wedding dress worn by Kirsten Dunst in Melancholia
which is displayed entwined in roots that climb the walls
But film memorabilia is by no means the focus of the show
View image in fullscreenDoomed bride … Kirsten Dunst in Melancholia
Photograph: Christian GeisnæsThe exhibition doesn’t just fill the space
it also spills up into the clock tower which
like the ones that represent the set in Dogville
Although probably the most site-specific of the installations
this feels the least immersive of the five
because it does not have the same emotional power as
the Melancholia installation – which is entirely captivating
it serves as an effective contrast to the others
View image in fullscreenKirsten’s Dunst’s wedding dress in the show
Photograph: © Mads Holm 2025Bay invited young designers to interpret the “universe of Lars von Trier” in such a way as to create an experience that does not depend on the viewer having seen his films – including the generations for whom she believes he has been “abandoned”
Her inspiration for the show came from an exhibition of photos of Von Trier’s work at the Perrotin gallery in Paris
She is particularly interested in seeing how the under-30s who visit her exhibition “adapt into his universe”
She says: “It’s more like a feeling or an atmosphere
And it is also a subconscious way of understanding some topics in life – or trying to.”
who has Parkinson’s disease and is now in a care centre
but he has given the exhibition his blessing
He attended the opening night on FaceTime with the help of his ex-wife
Bay noticed a group of producers from Zentropa
sitting in the shelter in front of the oncoming planet
the exhibition also features a critique of the film-maker and his work
a Danish feminist satirical graphic novelist
who has accused him of romanticising and fetishising femicide
while criticising his artist-muse relationships
Riise Nors appears as a radio host doing a phone-in about the director and explaining her problems with him
She questions the notion that he creates “strong female characters” and accuses him of using women’s lives as a “kind of currency”
She also mentions Björk’s #MeToo accusations
View image in fullscreenSoundtracked by Wagner … an abandoned banquet
Photograph: © Mads Holm 2025“His characters,” this host says
“seem more like a mirror for his own fantasies about women than they are a mirror for female identification.” She describes Melancholia – which has an “iconic” scene showing Dunst and Charlotte Gainsbourg being pulverised by a planetary collision – as an example of “Von Trier’s penchant for staging women’s deaths in an artistic and aesthetic way”
She also cites Björk’s Dancer in the Dark character Selma
It is also worth reminding ourselves that Nicole Kidman gets chained to a giant metal wheel in Dogville
while Gainsbourg cuts off her own clitoris in Antichrist
provide a model for dealing with the work of more cancelled artists whose work is still deemed worthy of appreciation
even though Von Trier and Riise Nors have wildly different opinions
it’s also a starting point for talk and for conversation.”
“The fact that we are still creating celebratory exhibitions about Lars von Trier is testimony to the fact that he was never really cancelled – at least not in Denmark.” She thinks the country holds on to such a “morally questionable” figure because of his huge international success and would have liked to have seen more critical contributions in the exhibition
“You can still be a great artist,” she adds

Sunbathers hang out around the restaurant La Banchina
located in a formerly industrial area of Copenhagen’s harbor
A major city may not be the first place you picture for a relaxing summer getaway
cycling-centric culture and penchant for public swimming
outdoor patios perfect for sipping wine—and then there are the 9:30 p.m
The only real question is: Where should you begin
and there’s nothing I find more refreshing than diving into one of the city’s bracing harbor baths
some of the most popular ones are at Islands Brygge
snack and socialize on the lawns beside them
Follow their lead and stop in at a nearby café
The Danes are famous for rye bread and pastries
and there a few spots that do them especially well
where specialties like brunsviger (coffee cake) and spandauer (a flaky pastry filled with jam
so you can order a few to share over coffee
because the best way to see Copenhagen is on two wheels
The city is home to some 239 miles of bike lanes; rent a bicycle from either your hotel or through a bike-share app like KINTO Share Bike
Most of the major attractions are in the Indre By area
and are easily accessed on foot or two wheels
but there are also cool neighborhoods on the edge of the city center
is a newish area in what used to be an industrial part of the city; these days
it has a harbor bath and cool cafés like Andersen & Maillard
If the idea of navigating such a sprawling network feels overwhelming
Consider a guided tour to help ease you into it
It’ll expose you to different pockets of the city
from cobblestoned alleyways in Christianshavn to a Bjarke Ingels–designed power plant that doubles as a recreation center (with a ski slope)—and have you hand-signaling like a Copenhagener in no time
A canal tour is another good way to sightsee
but look for a boutique company with a fleet of smaller boats; usually
you can sip wine or lemonade while you marvel at architectural sites like the stately opera house
If you hang around the waterfront afterward
you’ll find people swimming and sipping beers late into the evening
they sometimes don’t disperse until well after midnight
Lured by its mild temperatures and proximity to the mainland (about a 40-minute flight or 80-minute ferry from Copenhagen)
many Danes flock to the island of Bornholm

I left the United States for the first time when I studied a semester abroad in Copenhagen
It was a bit of a culture shock leaving what I knew and travelling to a brand-new place
I really enjoyed the opportunity to get to know a new culture and explore the city
and an exploratory photography class.
we had different prompts to push us to explore a different style or technique
I created a photo-project examining the smoking culture in Denmark
I had the opportunity to travel with the Davidson Chorale on their trip to Zakopane
and Krakow in Poland over winter break as a photographer.

my wife Shae and I flew over to Denmark to go on a behind the scenes tour of Thomas Dambo’s studio in Copenhagen (he’s the artist who creates troll sculptures around the world using reclaimed wood)
We booked tickets on that tour just before Christmas last year which worked out perfectly
Shae and I each had an Amex Platinum card on which we hadn’t redeemed our $200 Fine Hotels + Resorts (FHR) credits for 2024
When researching our Copenhagen hotel options
I noticed that Villa Copenhagen was fairly reasonably priced at less than $300 per night for our dates
meaning we’d be out of pocket less than $100 per night after the credits
so I booked us a couple of nights there over the weekend we’d be visiting
We later decided to elongate our trip a little
so we booked another night there using one of our 2025 FHR credits
as well as a night at the Clarion by the airport (I’ll publish a review of that hotel in the next week) at the end of our trip
Our flight to Copenhagen landed at about 7:30am
we decided to head straight to the hotel in the hope that we could check in early
One of the benefits on FHR stays is the ability to check in from 12pm based upon availability and we hoped we might get lucky with a chance to check in even earlier than that
so we left our bags at the front desk and went out to explore the city for a while
so we headed up to our room to sleep off some of our jetlag
Villa Copenhagen’s building was once the Central Post Office before being transformed into a hotel in 2020
As a result of it being a converted building in Europe
I’d booked a standard queen room and we apparently got upgraded to the next room type which is larger
one of the hotel’s best features is its interior courtyard
its glass roof ensures the lobby is flooded with light throughout the day
as well as a bakery from which the hotel gets pastries at breakfast
there’s a pretty good spread at its buffet which is included for free when booking through Amex Fine Hotels + Resorts
(Update: Based on a couple of comments below
breakfast is apparently included on all stays
regardless of how you book.) There’s a rooftop outdoor swimming pool
as well as a poolside bar for guests to enjoy
it’s in a great area for exploring the city
although that was closed during our visit (it was due to open for the season a week or two later)
while the rest of downtown is walkable from the hotel
We had a nice stay overall and I’d be happy to stay there again if we had FHR credits to burn
although I wouldn’t necessarily recommend getting dinner at the hotel’s courtyard bar – more about that below
n.b. Greg stayed at this hotel a couple of years ago, so here’s his review

[…] I published a more comprehensive review of our stay at Villa Copenhagen over on Frequent Miler
I’ve almost stayed here a couple times
but even with the FHR credit it’s worked out to be more expensive than other options on my dates which has seemed like a waste since I barely spend any time in the hotel when I’m in Copenhagen (one of my favorite cities)
I’ve stayed at the Comfort Hotel Vesterbro a couple times (not on points) and found it to be really good value for the money
My last time there was about 8 years ago though
I want to make a pointed comment that you seem to be fascinated with this guy Dambo
as I literally attempted to book this same hotel yesterday
I am staying for a week in Copenhagen at the end of May (Beer Festival) and still have a boatload of Choice Points from when they moved over from Radisson
I found availability for my dates and kept encountering a website error
and the remedy was to call and book over the phone
I was then told that Choice points were unusable for any of the Ascend branded properties in Copenhagen
Ended up hanging up and resuming searching for a hotel
I ended up just booking the Comfort Vesterboro for the week
(Which went through fine online) I imagine I could have tried again and maybe got a different person
but not sure if that would have helped much
I use the hotel’s outdoor rooftop pool quite a bit in the winter
But you have to book a free spot to use it as they want to limit how busy it gets
Award bookings using points include breakfast for no charge as long as it is taken in the breakfast room on the level below the main entrance level
Thank you – I’ve added a note to the post regarding breakfast
This is a timely review for me as my wife and I have some dates in Copenhagen in late July
I always struggle to make a definitive decision on where to stay
Currently we have The Nimb booked with Hilton points and both Villa Copenhagen and Comfort Vesterbro with Choice points
I still can’t decide whether to splurge for The Nimb (an SLH property) or squeeze some value out of a healthy chunk of Choice points
we’re staying at the Clarion at the airport as well because we get in so late on our first night and depart so early on our departure date
I was only considering Villa Copenhagen because I’ve struggled to find a good way to redeem my Choice points
Stephen’s review was a little underwhelming and this likely will be our only trip to Copenhagen and The Nimb has such stellar reviews
Looks like a decent option for choice points
A couple of things that I found in the website –
That’s good to know – thank you

Amid unprecedented economic insecurity, the EU’s new Clean Industrial Deal puts electrification and the accelerated build-out of renewables at the heart of Europe’s industrial strategy
Wind is 20% of the electricity Europe consumes today
The EU wants it to be 35% by 2030 and over half by 2050
And energy-intensive industries want more wind
even when the grid and system costs are taken into account
Wind helps European businesses to electrify and cut their energy costs
It’s a completely local source of energy so it strengthens energy security and removes the price volatility of imported fossil fuels
bad auction design and insufficient electrification
Electricity is still only 23% of energy consumption in Europe – China has overtaken that and is powering ahead on electrification
The European wind industry calls on Governments to take 3 simple actions to boost Europe’s energy security and competitiveness
alongside the full and immediate implementation of the EU Clean Industrial Deal:
WindEurope Chairman said: “Europe is in a moment of transition
To secure European influence in the global economy
Wind energy is already driving industrial growth and energy independence across Europe
This calls for increasing viable demand for wind energy
and strengthening wind’s market environment
WindEurope Copenhagen will be a critical opportunity for European Governments and industry to agree on how we can achieve this

The “Copenhagen Call to Action” was launched at the Opening Session of WindEurope’s Annual Event 2025 in Copenhagen
The event gathers over 15,000 people on 8-10 April in a conference and exhibition

Worldwide
and hubs across the planet have been assessed across six major factors
Sure, a city can have stunning galleries or brilliant food
but arguably the factor that will affect your experience the most are your interactions with its people – and there’s a good chance that they’ll be a whole lot friendlier if you’re in a happy city.
To shed some light on where that actually might be, the Happy City Index is back for its sixth edition
and hubs across the planet have been assessed on their citizens
and slotted into either the ‘gold’ ‘silver’ or ‘bronze’ category.
Topping the ranks in the ‘gold’ category and earning the title of the happiest city on the planet? That would be Copenhagen.
The Danish capital acquired a total of 1039 points
faring particularly well thanks to its ‘commitment to education and innovation’
‘dedication to research and development’ and an ‘active and participatory democracy’.
Heard of ‘hygge’? It’s a Danish concept which the country’s official website describes as being ‘about taking time away from the daily rush to be together with people you care about - or even by yourself - to relax and enjoy life’s quieter pleasures’
This way of life has a lot to do with why Copenhagen’s population is so cheerful.
A couple of examples include enjoying a picnic in the summer months or curling up next to a fire – wholesome, right? To learn more, you can head to Copenhagen’s Happiness Museum (yes
Last year, representatives of the Greater Copenhagen Region launched a ‘life quality insurance’ campaign, which essentially guaranteed that you would feel happier after moving to Copenhagen – and if not, they’d help cover you moving home again. Read more about that here.
In second place was Zurich which scored 993, and in third place was Singapore with 979. Read on for the full top 20 – where 15 entries are European – or have a look at the complete list on the Happy City Index here

Several people were hit by a car on Sortedam Dossering
an adjacent road to the popular Dronning Louises Bro bridge in the Nørrebro district of Copenhagen on Wednesday afternoon
Reports indicate five people have been injured, though their exact condition is not yet known, Copenhagen Police said in a social media post
The accident occurred after an elderly man lost control of his vehicle
Images from the scene show a small red car was also involved in the incident
An eyewitness told broadcaster TV2 that the car suddenly swerved and struck a young man
It then crashed into tables outside the Lagkagehuset café on Sortedam Dossering
People could be heard screaming, and several started running away, another witness said according to newspaper BT
A young woman told newspaper Ekstra Bladet that she narrowly avoided being hit by the car
but was able to move out of the way in time
What else would you think when a car comes charging at that sort of speed?”
Police and ambulance services responded to the incident with at least seven ambulances and emergency medical vehicles were dispatched according to news wire Ritzau
Several other emergency service units were also present
Several people were being treated at the scene according to Ekstra Bladet
with the area around the accident cordoned off
Weaving together news and analysis from voices all over the world
The Danish capital is bustling with busy crosswalks
and roofs of all different shapes and sizes creating the skyline
Interrupting this picturesque view is a building that happens to be the tallest point in Denmark - a gray 84-meter-tall factory
Copenhill stands tall—literally and figuratively—as a groundbreaking example of how public spaces can serve multiple purposes for different people
Officially known as the Amager Resource Center (ARC)
this power plant is not only a facility for waste-to-energy conversion; it is also a ski slope
Ski Slope at Copenhill (Photo: Nela Chestojanova)
I took a bus to see this architectural miracle
which was leaving the city center for a residential area
was packed with tourists who all descended at the bus stop Amager Bakke
is a waste incineration plant that converts 400,000 tons of municipal waste from the city into clean energy annually.
Copenhill is also known for its unique recreational design
With an 84-meter climbing wall (the tallest one in the world) and a 450-meter ski slope
this towering structure transforms waste management into an accessible
visitors can ski on a green-grass-like carpet
Visitors to this unique space enjoy panoramic views of Copenhagen
Oresund—the longest bridge/undersea tunnel in Scandinavia
I realized that the site is more than a place for adrenaline-filled activities
I found a space for friends to come to socialize and enjoy the views
or perhaps to achieve their fitness goals by climbing up 500 stairs
or to simply relax and read a book while enjoying a drink from the rooftop bar
the après-ski bar and café provide the perfect spot to unwind
Throughout my semester in Denmark, I have continuously noticed the way that public infrastructure is designed to serve multiple purposes and fulfill many roles. Architectural shapeshifting in each street and neighborhood depends on the needs of that space’s residents. Much like Copenhagen’s innovative trash bin shelves for recyclable bottles and cans
Copenhill’s multipurpose design demonstrates a commitment to blending practicality with social and environmental consciousness
These spaces reflect the Danish ethos of creating systems that benefit both individuals and the community
fostering a sense of shared responsibility and connection
As urban populations grow and environmental challenges mount
spaces like CopenHill provide a blueprint for a more integrated and sustainable future
They remind us that public spaces aren’t just about functionality; they’re about fostering community

Two Chicago-area college students have been accused of assault in Copenhagen, Denmark after an alleged altercation with an Uber driver.CHICAGO -- An American college student is speaking out from Denmark, where he and his friend are both stuck after being accused of assault.
The two college students, both United States citizens from the Chicago area, were accused of assault while visiting the Scandinavian country on their spring break, according to a statement from Copenhagen police.
Owen Ray, a 19-year-old studying at the Miami University in Ohio, and his unnamed friend, an Indiana University student, were detained at Copenhagen Airport on April 1 over an alleged dispute with an Uber driver the night prior, Jordan Finfer, a U.S.-based attorney for Ray's family, told ABC News.
"We were both just very shocked about the fact that we were being arrested over this incident," Ray, a Chicago native, told Good Morning America. "We had done nothing wrong. We were the, you know, victims of an attack."
In an account relayed to Finfer, who then shared the details with ABC News, Ray said that he and a friend were in an Uber on March 31 when they realized they had entered the wrong address for their destination -- and the driver allegedly refused to take them anywhere else.
All parties -- Ray, the friend and the Uber driver -- eventually got out of the car, and an altercation then allegedly occurred, Finfer said, based on Ray's account.
"The Uber driver came back around, got out of his car," Finfer said. "Informed Owen and his friend that he had called nine of his buddies to kick their ass."
Finfer says Ray told him that the driver kicked Ray in the groin, and in response, Ray pushed him away and the driver fell, the attorney recounted, adding that Ray and his friend then ran away.
The two students were detained at Copenhagen Airport the next day while trying to return home, Finfer told ABC News. Local police detained them after deeming them "flight risks," claiming they were planning to run from the incident, he said.
"That the morning after the incident, he went to the airport to leave on a very early morning flight of a ticket that he had booked weeks in advance before the incident. He wasn't fleeing the country. It was a booked ticket way in advance of this incident," mother Buchen-Ray said. "Our son was supposed to come home from Copenhagen... I woke up to a text message that said, 'Mom, I'm in prison in Copenhagen, call the U.S. Embassy.'"
A Copenhagen police spokesperson tells ABC News in a statement, "The Copenhagen Police can confirm, that on March 31, two American citizens were arrested in Copenhagen, and on March 31 they were brought before the court charged with common assault. They were sentenced to 10 days pre-trial detention. This verdict has since extended until April 24."
A lawyer said later Monday they have not been charged.
Speaking over the weekend, Finfer said, "The fact that he hasn't been charged and is likely to serve 60 days or 45 days in a foreign prison is shocking."
Ray's Denmark-based attorney, Eigil Strand, confirmed to ABC News that as of 10:50 p.m. Danish time on Sunday, both of the young men were still being detained. But on Monday, Ray's parents said he the 19-year-old had been released from the Danish prison.
Police later confirmed to ABC News that both students had been released. But now, they are stuck in Denmark.
"They're stuck in that country until the Danish authorities say otherwise," said ABC7 Chief Legal Analyst Gil Soffer.
Soffer says, legally speaking, this is not entirely unusual.
Still in Denmark, Ray's mother is by his side.
"I'm not leaving without him," she said. "And his friend, for that matter. And we're hoping for the best. I mean, they're both good kids. They're good students. There's no reason to hold them at this point."
The U.S. State Department provided a statement to ABC7 on Sunday saying, "We are aware of media reports of two U.S. citizens detained in Denmark. Staff at our embassy in Copenhagen are providing consular assistance.
The Department has no higher priority than the safety and security of U.S. citizens abroad. Due to privacy considerations, we have no further comment."
Illinois U.S. Senator Dick Durbin's officer released a statement, saying they have "been in regular contact with the family and our embassy in Denmark since being made aware of situation."
An Uber spokesperson said in a statement to ABC News on Sunday, "The safety of everyone who uses the Uber app is a top priority, and we take reports of violence very seriously.
Any additional questions about the investigation should be directed to the Danish police."
ABC7 Chicago's Cate Cauguiran, Liz Nagy, the ABC7 I-Team and ABC News' Benjamin Siu and ABC7 Chicago contributed to this report.

Following an international open call launched in collaboration with Copenhagen Contemporary in November, Arts at CERN has announced that Polish artist Martyna Marciniak has won the third edition of the Collide Copenhagen residency.
Collide is a residency programme organised by Arts at CERN in partnership with a leading cultural institution in a CERN Member State
the residency offers artists a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in the Laboratory’s environment and engage in meaningful dialogue with its scientific community
attracted 774 proposals from 109 different countries
Martyna Marciniak is a Polish artist and researcher based in Berlin
Her interdisciplinary practice combines spatial storytelling
speculative fiction and 3D reconstruction to examine how design and technology shape ideologies and social structures
Her recent work has focused on developing a methodology that integrates the aesthetics of disinformation into a semi-fictional storytelling format that ignites imagination and critical reflection
Marciniak will complete a two-month residency
split between CERN and Copenhagen Contemporary
The project investigates the “split-second problem”
reveal the interconnectedness of human systems and cosmic phenomena
where cosmic rays alter a bit in a computer’s memory
These glitches expose the inner workings of technological
financial and computational infrastructures
paradoxically rendering them more perceptible
The artist will create a sculptural timepiece and a video essay that explore the intersections between cosmic
Drawing from muon tomography and scientific timekeeping
the sculpture will reflect the infrastructures designed to measure fleeting phenomena
The video essay will propose new narratives and sensory modes for experiencing time’s complexity
inviting a sense of wonder about the errors that shape our world
we are beyond excited to round up a successful three-year partnership with Arts at CERN by presenting Martyna Marciniak as the third recipient of Collide Copenhagen
Marciniak's project for Collide seeks to modulate our understanding of time
offering new narratives and sensory modes for experiencing its complexity,” says Marie Laurberg
Marciniak will take part in the exhibition “Soft Robots”
which will open in June at Copenhagen Contemporary

AT LEAST three people are fighting for their lives after an out-of-control car smashed into a crowd in Copenhagen
An elderly man ploughed into over a dozen pedestrians, benches and tables near Queen Louise’s Bridge, according to Denmark's emergency services
Eleven people are known to have been involved in the collision
The Capital Emergency Services received a call at 3:32pm after being told that people were trapped
At least seven ambulances and seven cop cars arrived at the scene at Sortedam Dossering, according to Ekstra Blade
An image on social media shows a mangled red car parked across the road
Witnesses claimed to see an elderly man being helped out of the car before being put on a stretcher.
Copenhagen Police confirmed the crash and said multiple teams are on hand investigating the collision.
They announced on X that the man "lost control of the vehicle" before slamming into the people.
Horrified witness Henny Christiansen said: "The car drove into these table and bench sets in front of the store
A large area by the bridge has now been cordoned off with a roadblock in place between Nørrebrogade and Sankt Hans Gade, Berlingske reports
It comes just days after 11 people were killed after a car ploughed into a Vancouver festival crowd
