Kimberly Rivera: U.S. Army Private

Rivera Dept: The demonstration was one of several planned across the country calling on Immigration Minister Jason Kenney to stop a deportation order that would see Rivera returned to the U.S. by Thursday, according to CBC. That assessment ruled she would not be in danger of punishment, torture or loss of life if deported and a number of people hoisting placards and waving peace signs gathered in Toronto Wednesday for an eleventh-hour protest against the planned deportation of U.S. war resister Kimberly Rivera . Rivera, a former U.S. Army private who fled to Canada in 2007 to avoid further military service, received the order after a negative pre-removal risk assessment. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
