The Federal government is challenging an American soldier's bid for refugee status in Canada.
A government official confirmed the feds will oppose a refugee application from Jeremy Hinzman because he "does not fit the criterion for status refugees."
Hinzman is one of four American soldiers claiming refugee status in Canada because he's opposed to the war in Iraq.
