DHS Moves to Arm ICE with Electric-Shock Gloves in Immigration Crackdown

The Department of Homeland Security plans to spend up to $20 million to equip ICE agents with CT-G5 G.L.O.V.E. electric-shock gloves, intended for distraction and de-escalation, with ICE distribution within Enforcement and Removal Operations and Homeland Security Investigations. Rights groups warn the gloves could cause harm to protesters and migrants, while the manufacturer says the devices are humane; the procurement appears to be a no-bid contract and could roll out soon.
