It may be possible but difficult. You will need the help of an Immigration Attorney. His court records on his convictions and his Immigration court paper for his removal will have to be carefully review by an Immigration Attorney to determine the available options and legal strategy.

Certainly, filing an I-130 visa petition for him is the first step on the road to trying to legally come back.
