Tara Cohen has no family in Mexico. She doesn't speak Spanish. In fact, she knows little about the country. But a judge has ordered Cohen, 38, deported to Mexico. It seems Cohen's parents adopted her from an orphanage in Mexico when she was an infant and raised her in the United States. But they never completed immigration paperwork for her, something she did not discover until getting arrested for taking a purse three years ago.
