California Bans Shock Gloves for ICE | San Diego News

California lawmakers are racing to ban electric shock gloves for federal agents, introducing a fast-tracked bill targeting ICE and local police amid reports they’re set to buy thousands of the devices. Spearheaded by Assemblymember LaShae Sharp-Collins, the move comes after ICE’s $16.7 million contract for 6,000 pairs — sparking outrage over potential abuse and citing a deadly case in Kentucky. Civil rights groups support the ban as inhumane, while law enforcement warns it could endanger public safety and clash with federal authority. Though part of California’s broader resistance to federal immigration policies, legal experts say such state-level bans may lack enforceability without a strong constitutional basis — making this bill more symbolic than substantive.
