"Meaning he can be 'repatriated.'" Probably not. If he is a permanent resident (green card holder), the only thing that would make him deportable would be: (A) a conviction for a "crime involving moral turpitude" (basically any crime involving theft, fraud, or violence), and a sentence of one year or more of incarceration. The crime must be committed within five years of his receiving lawful admission for permanent resident status; (B) a conviction for murder or another enumerated crime at any time after receiving LAPR status; or (C) conviction of two or more CIMTs, not arising from the same scheme of criminal misconduct, at any time after receiving LAPR status, regardless of sentence. So he's pretty safe. If he's here in some kind of nonimmigrant status, it would be slightly easier to place him in deportation proceedings, but not much. He would still have to be convicted of a crime that would violate his nonimmigrant status.
