An alien who was admitted the U.S. using a photoswitched passport after being inspected by an an immigration officer satisfied the inspection and admission requirements for adjustment of status so long as there was no claim to U.S. citizenship (i.e. the passport was not a U.S. passport). This has been the law for many years. The alien, however, would be inadmissible to the U.S. due to fraud and would require a waiver of inadmissibility under section 212(i) of the Immigration and Nationality Act.
This is obviously a very difficult case complicated by the fact that there is a deportation order and the amount of time that has gone by. It will be necessary to successfully get ICE to join in a motion to reopen before the Court. You need an EXTREMELY EXPERIENCED AND QUALIFIED immigration attorney to assist you. Consult with one before taking any action. This is not a case you should be handling on your own without counsel.
