Your husband's unlawful entry after removal is a serious issue. Your husband has likely triggered a permanent bar to admission. There is no waiver available to this bar until your husband has remained outside the United States for ten years (possibly twenty years depending upon his criminal history). The only options that may be available to your husband will be discretionary relief from ICE such as a stay of removal or supervised release. Your husband will need to show substantial equities to have any chance of such relief. You can read more about the permanent bar at http://myattorneyusa.com/permanent-bar-overview.
