Landa was deported in 2009 at the age of 29. After graduating from California State University at Northridge, where she served as student body president, Landa was pulled over by Customs agents who arrested her because of her undocumented status. After being detained for eight hours, she was put on a bus to Tijuana with nothing but the clothes on her back, her purse, a cell phone, and $20.
