I am a United States citizen as well as our daughter of 4 years of age. My husband is currently incarcerated for 2 charges of criminal sexual conduct to the 3rd degree with an adult. He is a green card holder and is currently in removal proceedings. He is from Yemen and he fears for his life with the allegations against him. He fears his family back in Yemen will kill him, not to mention all the problems that country is going through right now. My daughter and I can't live there for fear of our own security. Is there any possible way we can fight for his right to stay here where we've lived our whole life? My husband has been here since the age of 7 and has no previous problem or charges with the law. Please help us.

You should retain an experienced immigration attorney to assist you. Any criminal conviction can be a problem, but some are worse than others. Your husband has likely been charged with an aggravated felony. There is very limited relief available to persons convicted of such charges. Our office would need to review the criminal records as well as his prior immigration history to determine what relief he may be eligible to apply for.
