How did they do this? They infiltrate quietly (Whisperers) among the living and the dead. I don’t believe it was only Alpha who came into The Kingdom undetected. They look for opportunity and take actions that they think will express their alpha-dominance. I don’t believe who they took was at all random. They look for what they think is weakness, and it looks to me like caring and emotion and human connection is weakness in their world view. So, I think Alpha observed and gave order who to take based on what she observed while there. Remember how we saw in flashbacks how she quietly observed her husband, saw his insistance to stay as weakness and without any significant communication with him about it, decided, exerted her dominance, waited for her moment and took him out. And, present time, she took people from each community. I don’t think that was by happenstance either, part of her alpha dominance strategy to hit them all from every community and type of bond and connection. Now, I’m assuming like how they knocked out Siddiq is how they likely took them w/o making a ruckus and being noticed, which seems to be their MOA. Whisper quiet un-noticed infiltrate (heck she’s been hiding an entire horde) and then make a grand display of alpha dominance: Heads on a stakes from each community and those who help them, bonding together, as the very marking of her territory, which is very animalistic to her in her way of thinking. She doesn’t personally know that attacking those bonds is the very strength, or can be, of these communities, rallying together - apparently she hasn’t had that life experience, which makes me ever more curious of her own backstory (childhood) before the walking dead event started.
