Also if he has a count for USC TITLE 8 SECTION 1251. The last one is an INS hold. Does that mean he has a chance of just being deported?

In most instances, individuals who are charged with such felonies will, if convicted, serve their time in prison in the U.S., and then be turned over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement upon their release. While in prison, there will usually be some sort of deportation proceeding so that by the time they have finished their term a final deportation order is in place. You should consult with both a criminal and immigration attorney in order to evaluate the particular situation and the options for the person in question.
