Aly Wane - Abolitionist Immigration Activist

Aly Wane is an undocumented alien who has been organizing around immigration issues for over 20 years. An abolitionist immigration activist is someone who believes the current U.S. immigration enforcement system—ICE, Border Patrol, detention centers, deportation courts, and the laws that empower them—is fundamentally harmful and should be dismantled rather than reformed. The term “abolitionist” signals a radical reimagining of how societies handle migration—moving away from punishment, surveillance, and exclusion, and toward care, mobility, and belonging. Aly Wane spoke on February 9, 2026 at a webinar sponsored by the Syracuse, NY Peace Council. https://peacecouncil.net
