ICE Shock Gloves, Mahmoud Khalil Lawsuit, Gotti Goes to Prison & Cornell’s Bear Problem | TMI Ep 441

ICE may soon have a startling new tool at its disposal, Mahmoud Khalil is taking his fight against the government into a new legal arena, a member of the Gotti family has finally reported to prison after an unusual effort to delay his sentence, and Cornell has discovered there are apparently some dorm rules you really do have to put in writing.On today’s TMI Show with Ted Rall and Manila Chan:The Department of Homeland Security is preparing to spend millions on a new piece of equipment for ICE officers that its makers describe as a tool for controlling difficult encounters.
