You would need to gather certified copies of all his convictions and immigration court paperwork and schedule a consultation with a knowledgeable immigration attorney.

If this person is currently being charged for having returned to the U.S. after an order of deportation and without prior authorization, the best collateral attack is to review the underlying order of deportation to ensure it was entered with legal sufficiency. Pardons are extremely hard to obtain and with today's political climate, even more unlikely.
