No. If you have not applied and obtained a green card yet, after divorce - you will no longer be eligible for a green card based on a marriage to your husband.

He will not get in trouble. I understand that he didn't do anything wrong.

Yes, you can be deported if you are in unlawful status. There could be some other ways how to apply for a green card (permanent residency) in the future, but it's not clear from your post what you personally can be eligible for.
