ICE to Deploy Shock Gloves for Compliance | California News

ICE is rolling out electric shock gloves—called G.L.O.V.E.s—for its officers, aiming to spend $20 million by March to equip thousands. Designed by Compliant Technologies, these gloves deliver a bee-sting-like jolt to gain compliance during resistance, already used in some jails and police departments. But civil rights groups are alarmed, citing ICE’s history of excessive force and lack of oversight, warning of potential abuse since the shocks aren’t visible to bystanders. While the manufacturer restricts use to violent suspects and requires training, critics fear misuse, especially on vulnerable populations. Proponents argue the gloves could help smaller or older officers de-escalate situations more effectively. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
