Since you have an attorney, they are in the best position to advise you. If you require a second opinion, you are welcome to schedule a legal consultation directly with my law office or with any other qualified immigration attorney. I will need a lot of additional information before I can advise you.

I understand that your boyfriend is illegally in USA and you are not married.

If ICE has a hold on him, it means that he will not be released after his domestic violence court hearing, but will be transferred into ICE custody. He may or may not get a bond (most likely, not). You shall consult an immigration attorney regarding your boyfriend's options, as he may be removed (deported) from USA.
