If he is illegal, he can be deported by ICE if found deportable. Crime of domestic violence by itself is a ground for deportation and can be a bar for admission to the United States.

The fact that your husband is in the US illegally and now has picked up an arrest for domestic violence may well subject your husband to an ICE hold if he goes into the California jail system as a result of the arrest resulting from the domestic violence event. If you are successful in fighting the case and he does no jail time (if this is a first time crime), then you may have deferred the problem for now. I am in Los Angeles.
