You should consult with an immigration attorney for a review of the actual charge and conviction ASAP. A determination of the immigration consequences is necessary to evaluate his chances for release from ICE custody and likelihood of deportation. DV comes in different forms and shapes and can be grounds for removal of permanent residents.
You need to collect all of his criminal case information and provide the information to an experienced immigration attorney for a legal opinion. Immigration law treats criminal adjudications differently than does criminal law. He should do this asap as he may be able to gain relief based on recent USSC case of Kentucky v. Padilla. Good luck.
