Allison Alon, formerly known as Avishay Alon, is an Israeli national and former Israeli military intelligence officer who has been detained in the United States while subject to an immigration detainer issued by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Alon previously served in Israel's Unit 81, a technology-focused unit associated with the Israel Defense Forces' Intelligence Directorate. After military service, Alon worked in the technology sector in the United States.
Alon's immigration status became an issue following criminal proceedings in New Hampshire. Court records indicate that Alon was detained at the New Hampshire State Prison for Men and was subject to an ICE detainer while serving a state sentence.
In August 2026, a federal court filing described Alon as being detained on state charges while also being subject to the ICE detainer. The filing concerned an emergency request related to conditions of confinement and did not establish that ICE had completed a transfer or removal from the United States.
Alon had previously filed a federal lawsuit against the New Hampshire Department of Corrections concerning treatment and placement while incarcerated. The lawsuit identifies Alon as transgender and concerns access to gender-related medical care and placement within the state prison system.
Alon's criminal case included convictions involving conspiracy to commit kidnapping, possession of a controlled drug, and criminal threatening. The criminal proceedings and the separate immigration proceedings are governed by different legal processes.
The ICE detainer indicates federal immigration interest in Alon, but the available court records do not establish a final outcome in the immigration case. The records also do not establish a final removal date.
Alon's previous service in Israeli military intelligence has been included in reporting about the case, but the available court record concerning the ICE detainer does not identify former intelligence service as the legal basis for the immigration action.
