More details to this question:
I was just wondering if I was to start to get my husbands papers now would it increase the chance of him getting deported bc of all the ice problems here lately. We have been married 2 yrs in april and we have 1 child together but he also takes care of my other 2 children since their father is deceased.

Hello.
If you have status (US citizenship/lawful permanent residence) then you should petition for your husband as soon as possible. If he were detained by ICE and does not have a pending or approved I-130 petition from you then it greatly increases the chances of him being deported.
Manner of entry into the US (legally or illegally) will determine if he will receive his immigrant status either in or out of the U.S.
Even if he is not able to adjust status in the US, an approved petition greatly increases his chances that ICE will exercise prosecutorial discretion and allow him to remain in the US.
