More details to this question:
My boyfriend of 4 years is incarcerated and will be deported. He is being charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon but the person he assaulted is not pressing charges. He is currently married to a us citizen but they've been separated for over 4 years. I'm also a us citizen and we have 2 kids together. Is there anything I can do to keep him from being deported?

If he is here illegally he does not need to be convicted to be deported. If he is here legally then an acquittal should result in his remaining here. Hire a lawyer who practices both criminal defense and immigration.

It will be very difficult. He needs to divorce his wife, you need to marry, then you file the relative petition and he applies for the immigrant visa with a waiver if he can show an extreme and unusual hardship to you.
