Transgender Israeli computer engineer detained by ICE following kidnapping charges in New Hampshire
Alon later launched federal proceedings against the US prison authorities, and argued that her incarceration in a men's prison and the treatment she received violated her rights.
Allison Alon, a transgender Israeli computer engineer and former IDF intelligence specialist, faces potential deportation from the United States after being transferred to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody in August 2026. Alon was arrested in New Hampshire following her release on parole from state prison, where she served a sentence for kidnapping and other charges. In September 2024, Alon and an accomplice allegedly held an acquaintance at gunpoint, suspecting him of drugging and stealing from her. She was sentenced in July 2025 to two to six years. Alon also filed a federal lawsuit against prison authorities, alleging violations of her rights due to incarceration in a men's prison and seeking transfer to a women's facility. Her transfer to ICE custody followed a legal dispute regarding the legality of her detention while awaiting ICE to take her into custody.
