More details to this question:
My husband was arrest for driveling on a suspend license on 02/01/2012. I was told to pay bond for his release, they then turn around and told me ICE put a hold on him. He has been in the US on a permanent green card since 1969. Back in 02/16/1996 he was charged with possession of marijuana greater than 1 kilo, full sentence 10 years, team to serve 3 years 6 months probation 7 years, dismissal under criminal rule 48(a) superior court 10/27/97. This is what ICE is using to deport him. He has 4 citizen children under the age 18. He was the provider of the house. What steps could I take to stop the deportation?

Your husband may have a chance if he can vacate the sentence on the drug charges in criminal court. This needs be done quickly as the immigration case will not wait. For immigration purposes, any charge of drugs more than "possession under 20 grams" has no waiver. Meaning, under immigration laws he would have no chance. His best bet is to try to fix his record through the criminal court. It is recommended you hire an experienced attorney to handle this matter. This is not a simple case and may have other complications. The above is only general information and shall not be construed as legal advice. It is always recommend you consult with an attorney to review all the details of your case.
