A: If you mean the landlord filed an eviction suit, and by "expunge", you mean erased from the court records, the answer is no. That would be the case whether you win or lose the lawsuit. If the eviction suit is still pending, hire a lawyer to try to get it resolved without an eviction judgment being issued. If you already received an eviction judgment against you, and it was recent, see a lawyer to determine if there's a possibility of getting it vacated or if there are any grounds for appeal. Regarding your parents being undocumented immigrants, I'm wondering why you mention that. A landlord may file an eviction suit against tenants who are undocumented.
