ICE to outfit officers with electric-shock gloves in $20m plan

The DHS plans to spend up to $20 million to arm ICE officers with Compliant Technologies’ G.L.O.V.E. electric-shock gloves, a move that has drawn civil-rights criticism over potential misuse and oversight gaps. The device delivers 324–380 volts on skin contact and has appeared in police, school, and healthcare settings, with past incidents cited in Kentucky jails and Omaha schools to illustrate risks. Advocates caution that training, accountability, and the potential chilling effects of shocks in immigration enforcement are insufficient, while ICE and DHS say the tools are needed and will be properly reviewed under policy standards.

Omaha drops shock-glove tool from school policing amid backlash

Omaha Public Schools, the state’s largest district, will stop police in schools from using G.L.O.V.E.s—electric-shock gloves—on students after community pushback; the gloves had been used twice last year, Bellevue police will continue using them, and other area districts have not changed policies. The devices, costing about $66,000 for 40 units, deliver a brief shock on skin contact and were marketed as a less-lethal option, but critics warned about safety and disability concerns even as officials stressed their role in certain situations.

Bellevue SROs Keep GLOVEs as OPS Pushes for Ban

Bellevue Police will keep SROs at Bryan Middle and Bryan High carrying G.L.O.V.E. shock gloves after declining OPS’s request to ban them; OPS had asked districts to remove the gloves, citing safety concerns, while Bellevue argues the tool is safe and de-escalating. OPD had already agreed to stop carrying GLOVEs in OPS schools, and other area districts are evaluating the tool.

The Department of Homeland Security plans to spend $10–$20 million to outfit ICE officers with the CTG-5 GLOVE, a rechargeable glove that emits electrical pulses to stimulate nerves and gain compliance in use-of-force scenarios, with devices slated for officers in DHS’s criminal investigations and Enforcement Removal Operations; DHS says it continuously assesses field needs to safely arrest and remove unlawfully present individuals.

ICE to Deploy Shock-Delivering Gloves for Field Encounters

ICE plans to purchase up to $20 million worth of Generated Low Output Voltage Emitter (GLOVE) gloves that can deliver electronic shocks of up to 380 volts, activated by a button and capable of 30 pulses per second, with activation recorded by microprocessors. The gloves are intended for officers in Homeland Security Investigations and Enforcement Removal Operations and are meant to supplement existing tools, not replace them, with required training and recertification. Civil rights groups, including the ACLU, have raised concerns about potential harm and accountability in immigration enforcement.

Lab gloves may inflate microplastics measurements

University of Michigan researchers found that nitrile and latex gloves shed stearate particles that mimic microplastics and contaminate samples, potentially inflating reported microplastics levels; cleanroom gloves release far fewer particles, and the team developed methods to differentiate true microplastics from glove-derived contaminants so earlier data can be revisited with improved accuracy.

Glove Residues May Skew Microplastic Measurements, U-M Researchers Find

A University of Michigan study shows nitrile and latex gloves shed stearates that resemble microplastics and can cause about 2,000 false positives per square millimeter in measurements. Cleanroom gloves release far fewer particulates, reducing contamination, and the team developed methods to distinguish glove-derived contaminants from true microplastics, enabling researchers to revisit affected datasets.
