The question is why your husband was deported. If for certain crimes, he would not be eligible to return. The same would apply if he was a recidivist who continually broke the immigration laws in going in and out of the country. If those do not apply, and if you are a US citizen or permanent resident, you or one of the American citizen children over the age of 21 could petition for him (I will assume that one or more of the grandchildren is from one of the US citizen children and that at least one of the children is over the age of 21), have the petition approved, and he would later interview at the American consulate in his home country. He would be denied and he could then begin the process of applying for a waiver of the 10 year bar for having remained in the US for one year illegally (form I-601) and for advance permission to enter the US after deportation (form I-212).
