1) You need to get a proper legal adviser i.e. the kind you pay for. People on the forums can only advise and most of us are not lawyers
2) This situation is by no means unique. But the fact that he went and filed a complaint is i.e. it means that the Huroob was unfairly applied or illegally applied. I don't know what the circumstances for that are as you haven't listed the same
3) The question is what does he want to do? does he want to leave? if so, that is easy. He can go to Tarheel centres, report himself and get deported
4) In case he wants to stay, the only options are to either convince his sponsor to lift the Huroob or get a lawyer to try and fight this. I must warn you that the second options will cost money, will take time and proving illegal Huroob is difficult at times

Yes, and I never said that he cannot. However, once you are marked Huroob, your status is illegal and you should NOT go to the court alone. Because you can be arrested - that is why I suggested a lawyer.
