ICE Plans Electric Shock Gloves | Dover News

ICE is set to spend $10–20 million on electric-shock gloves designed to subdue resisting arrestees — sparking outrage from lawmakers and civil rights advocates who call the move cruel and unnecessary. The “conductive distraction and de-escalation devices” come with strict warnings against use on vulnerable groups, yet lawsuits already allege deadly misuse, including a death linked to prolonged shocks. Despite DHS’s claim of careful review, critics fear these tools will escalate harm — especially as ICE’s use of force rises. The contract could be released as early as this Friday.
