The same domestic abuse/assault laws apply to a non-citizen that apply to citizens. Abuse is not legal - it doesn't matter if the person being abused is a US citizen or not.

Good Luck and God Bless.
not sure on the deported, but i do know that any human on american soil has every right of an american. So she has the right to not have spousal abuse and can file criminal charges against him. That being said, they might be deported afterwards.
Abuse is abuse. Citizenship is irrelevant. Filing an abuse complaint against your spouse should not affect any green card application.
Of course. No-one is allowed to abuse anyone else. It's the law. For immigration questions though, you better visit a lawyer.
