Legal Question in Immigration Law in California

I know a woman who has a son, he has a green card and has been a legal resident for about twenty five years. He was accused of domestic violence by his partner and was taken to jail. When he got out, she put a restriction, but called him to babysit for their 3 kids while she was at work. One day she accused him of violating the restriction and he was taken to jail again. Around this time she was caught driving under the influence of alcohol, and their three children were romoved and placed in a substitute home. Recently, she called him and asked him to go to her house to try to solve their differences and get together again so they could get their children back. He went to her house to talk, but she called the police and accused him of violating the restriction. He was taken to jail for the third time. When the jail term ended, immigration took him under custody and he was taken to a detention center in Arizona about two weeks ago. His mother is worring about because she doesn't have money and she doesn't know what to do to avoid deportation. She has talked to some lawyers they found in the internet, but they don't give her any hope. What can she do to get him free and avoid deportation?

He was placed into removal (deportation) proceedings. Domestic violence conviction can be a ground for deportation (removal to his native country).

His mother should consult and hire a qualified immigration attorney specializing in removal or deportation defense ASAP. He should have hired a good criminal lawyer to fight domestic violence and violation of the restrainign order charges.
