Unless this person has insurance that applies or assets that you can touch, then you will not be able to recover your damages irrespective of deportation. If he's deported before you can sue him, then that will make it much more difficult to recover your damages. If there's insurance or wealth you can latch onto, you should contact an attorney to help you.

ICE will not delay deporting the person to wait for you to collect your damages. Might be a way to do it. contact me by email if you want my assistance.
