If he is convicted for a crime involving moral turpitude, he might face deportation. However, your husband might apply for cancellation of removal or other relief, if he is qualified.

We suggest you to consult with an immigration attorney.

I would need more information regarding your particular case before I could comment on it properly.

However, what I can say is that once your boyfriend was arrested his immigration case will be looked at with the arrest in mind?

Even though your boyfriend has a child, you are also in the child's life and your boyfriend is not the child's sole provider.

Your boyfriend will have to fight his deportation by putting all arguments before the immigration court.
