A U.S. Navy deserter nabbed at the border is being shipped back to his base in California to face charges of desertion.
At the same time, rallies were staged in Toronto and Vancouver yesterday to try to prevent Robin Long, a failed refugee claimant and deserter, from being deported to the U.S.
In the first case, naval officer Jeffrey Mitchell, 24, was crossing the Peace Bridge late Saturday with his wife after a two-day Niagara Falls getaway when he was nabbed in a computer check, said Chief Kevin Corsaro, of U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
Corsaro said Mitchell had been stationed for three years in San Diego when he bolted. "He said he was on vacation for two days in Canada," Corsaro said yesterday.
"He was on his way back when our checks revealed a warrant."
Corsaro said Mitchell did not make a refugee claim.
