1. As this was an immigration case

Yordy was not entitled to the assistance of counsel (and experts) guaranteed to criminal defendants ever since Gideon.

Judge Pelletier knew this. The lawyers for the INS knew this. Everyone knew this.

Judge Pelletier is NOT an Article III judge. He DOES NOT have lifetime tenure.
