It depends on how (on what visa did she come to USA)? Did she have a visa or came to USA illegally?

If married to a US citizen, if she came to USA legally on a visa, she might be able to apply for a green card through adjustment of status.

Yes, she can be deported if she is in USA illegally and applies for some immigration benefits while not eligible.

When the mother's I-130 petition was filed (before or after April 2001).
