We have an LNC email ballot. Votes are due to the LNC List on this email thread by 11:59 pm Pacific Time on April 2nd, 2026.
Motion:
Move the following Resolution -
WHEREAS, Islam "Izzy" Aly is a lawful and peaceful resident, an electrical engineer, UCF graduate, business owner, and an active supporter in the liberty movement;
WHEREAS, Mr. Aly was detained by the Department of Homeland Security when returning to the United States on December 22, 2025 after traveling abroad due to his father’s passing.
WHEREAS Izzy Aly holds valid immigration status and has maintained continuous lawful residence in the United States for approximately ten years, and has been charged with no crime;
WHEREAS, Mr. Aly has been held for a quarter of a year, far from home, in a detention center alongside hundreds of other detainees;
WHEREAS, Mr. Aly was diagnosed with Stage 3 chronic kidney disease in early January, yet was not informed of this diagnosis for approximately two months, causing a significant delay in treatment that could allow the condition to progress to Stage 4, requiring
dialysis;
WHEREAS Mr. Aly, like many other such captives, should not be unjustly held by the state, especially to the detriment of his health;
WHEREAS, Mr. Aly has only seen a doctor once since his captivity, and only due to a medical emergency. Like other captives, he has not been taken to follow-up appointments despite medical recommendations to begin treatment;
WHEREAS, Mr. Aly has been evicted from his residence, had personal possessions discarded, and lost custody of his pet - all through no fault of his own;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Libertarian National Committee calls for the immediate release of Izzy Aly and other political captives;
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Libertarian National Committee condemns the inhumane, unjustifiable actions of I.C.E. and the D.H.S., and calls again for their abolition;
BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED that the Libertarian National Committee urges all members, affiliates, and allies to support captives such as Mr. Aly through public advocacy, community solidarity, attendance at organized protests, and through direct support to their
legal defense.
