Kimberly Rivera, an American soldier who fled to Canada to avoid the war in Iraq has been ordered deported, a spokeswoman for the War Resisters Support Campaign said Thursday. Immigration officials ordered Ms. Rivera to leave Canada by Sept. 20, said the group’s spokeswoman, Michelle Robidoux. Ms. Rivera, a 30-year-old Army private, served in Iraq in 2006 but became disillusioned with the mission. The first woman to flee the American military as an Iraq war resister, she crossed into Canada while on leave in 2007 after she was ordered to serve another tour.
