(Text-Only) ORDER ON REQUEST TO PROCEED ANONYMOUSLY: Petitioner's request to proceed anonymously is denied. Consistent with the practice in this Court, immigration habeas cases may ordinarily proceed using a petitioner's real first name and last-name initial(s), which limits public disclosure while preserving transparency. Petitioner's request does not make a particularized showing that limited identification would create a concrete risk of harm or fail to protect any asserted privacy or safety interests. Because Petitioner has not identified any specific risk arising from this limited disclosure that would outweigh the public's interest in public proceedings, the Clerk shall amend the caption to reflect Petitioner's first name and last-name initial(s), and all parties are directed to use this naming convention in their filings. The docket will remain public. Petitioner may renew the request upon a particularized showing. Ordered by Judge Jerry W. Blackwell on 1/30/2026 at 5:04 p.m. (CRD) (Entered: 01/30/2026)
