I would suggest seeking help from the news media like 20/20 or 60 minutes. They have done similar stories in the past. I doubt you will be able to accomplish anything on your own.
You will also need to contact a lawyer and have him file a habeas corpus to try and expedite a solution to your husband's case. If you can't afford a lawyer, go to www.firstgov.gov and you can research the relevant laws yourself and if you follow this link you can apply for the free/low cost legal services:

Talk to a lawyer. In some states the judge decides sentencing but in others it's a jury. There may be a parole board involved.
Some lawyers do pro bono work, meaning without charging. Check with your local social services or one of the many nonprofits out there.

Definitely talk to a lawyer. If you want to go to another country, that could play a huge role on the outcome. They would probably rather have him go back to mexico than to pay his prison bills.
