U.S. soldier to be deported from Canada

TORONTO (AP) — The first woman soldier to flee the U.S. military for Canada is scheduled to be deported Tuesday after losing a recent appeal to remain in the country.
Kim Rivera served in Iraq with the American military in 2006. She moved to Toronto the following year after she refused redeployment. She has been living in Ontario with her husband and three children.

Rivera told her appeal hearing earlier this month that her experience in Iraq left her emotionally scarred and unable to face another tour of duty.

Robin Long became the first American deserter removed by Canadian authorities in July. Long was sentenced to 15 months in prison after being deported
