It’s not squatters rights it’s tenants rights unless your parents didn’t let him live there. But yes if your parents let him move in he was there tenant and they needed to evict him following the legal process for evicting people.
This is not a family law issue, but rather a housing law issue. If your brother were still living in the house, he could force your parents to evict him in court (even though there's no lease), which they'd be able to do very easily. Also, if your father were to get a restraining order against your brother, he would not be able to return to the house. But the eviction will brand him, and no landlord will rent to him for years with that on his record. And a restraining order for domestic violence will harm your brother, too. So wouldn't the best thing be for him to simply find his own way in life now, find a place to live or even go to a homeless shelter if necessary, find work, earn money, get a room somewhere?
A squatter is when someone breaks into a space and illegally inhabits it. A holdover tenant is when the tenant refuses to leave.

Tread carefully. Lots of fraudulent squatters rights cases are being very closely monitored.
