Transgender Israeli computer engineer detained by ICE following kidnapping charges in New Hampshire

Allison Alon, a transgender Israeli woman and former IDF intelligence technology specialist, was arrested in New Hampshire by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) following her release on parole from an American prison. She faces potential deportation after being convicted of kidnapping, criminal threats with a deadly weapon, and drug possession. Alon, who used her birth name Avishay prior to transitioning, was involved in the kidnapping of an acquaintance in September 2024. Alongside her accomplice Brian Levy, she allegedly held the victim at gunpoint for hours before police intervened. Alon was sentenced to two to six years in prison in 2025 and has since filed a federal lawsuit challenging her incarceration in a men's prison due to her gender identity.
