ICE Moves to Arm Officers with Shock-Gloves, Sparking Civil Rights Debate
TL;DR Summary
ICE plans to spend up to $20 million on thousands of CTG-5 G.L.O.V.E shock gloves (about 10,000–15,000 pairs) to subdue people with 380-volt shocks, marketed as a nonlethal 'soft empty hand.' Civil rights advocates warn the gear could worsen public mistrust of law enforcement, while DHS defends the decision as policy-compliant and backed by training.
