You may file for your husband after your valise marriage in Trinidad. However, his prior deportation raises inadmissibility issues. You will need a successful waiver of any inadmissibility grounds.

You can petition him however, he might not be able return if he was deported from committing a criminal offense. It depends on the crime.

If you are a US citizen, you can petition for your husband regardless of where you get married. Marriage, however, will not guarantee that your husband will get an immigrant visa as the US Consul will review the reason for his deportation and criminal history.

He may apply after the period of his deportation (5 years? 10 years?) is past. You can start the paperwork earlier. This assumes he is not excludable from the USA.on any ground, such as criminality or fraud.
