More details to this question:
My boyfriend of 24 yrs is being held by ICE for agrevated felony in 2009 he came legally in 1991 with his father we met in 1992 and started living together in 1994 had our son in 1996 and daug.in 2001. I have proof of our 24 yr relationship.
Whether you can help out your boyfriend will likely depend upon the answer to a number of questions with the first being whether you hold permanent resident or US citizen status, and if so, whether you are willing to be married with him or he with you. Other questions are whether he entered the country legally, and the type of aggravated felony for which he is being held. There is a possibility that certain types of aggravated felonies can be waived when a person is seeking permanent residence in the US. I strongly suggest that you have a consultation with an immigration lawyer to go over your and your boyfriend's entire situation and see what options may be available.
