Latest news on ICE plan to give agents electric shock gloves

The DHS is seeking between $10 million and $20 million to equip ICE officers with electric shock gloves manufactured by Compliant Technologies. These conductive distraction and de-escalation devices are designed to overpower subjects using intense, localized pain. While the agency intends to use them for officer equipment, the plan has drawn significant outrage. Critics argue the gloves are overly aggressive and express serious fears regarding the potential for misuse and abuse by agents in the field.
