More details to this question:
My cousin was in his friend’s car when they got pulled over. He does not have criminal records and he was taken to the county jail because they saw in his passport. He overstayed on his visa. He has been served a deportation proceeding letter. What are his chances? He is only 18 years and is an orphan. He needs me and I live here. I can’t have him sent back to Nigeria.

More information is needed. Your relationship with him is not a sufficient family relationship as a matter of law. However, there may be other options, which he can easily give up without proper legs counseling. I strongly recommend an appointment with a competent and experienced immigration attorney before there are more complications. Good luck.
