More details to this question:
My mother is a US citizen. About a year ago she married an illegal immigrant from Honduras and they have a two year old daughter together, born here in Florida. About two and a half years ago he was arrested and given a court date to decide what will happen to him. My question is does he have any other option otherthan deportation? does him being married with a US citizen and having a baby with her help his case? They were told the best way to go was voluntary deportation and my mother petitioning or requesting him.thanks for your help!

You should ask your mother whether her husband entered the US with a visa. If he did not, whether he applied for TPS (Temporary Protected Status) for Honduras citizens. He may have other better options than voluntary departure.

The answer to your question depends on how he entered the United States and how long he has been here.
