ICE’s Shock Gloves Spark Debate | Durham News

ICE is rolling out electric shock gloves—called G.L.O.V.E. devices—to help officers gain compliance without resorting to deadly force, with a potential $20 million investment for thousands of units. While White House border czar Tom Homan defends the move as a necessary, less-lethal tool akin to Tasers or pepper spray, critics warn it could worsen abuses already seen in immigration enforcement. Though some law enforcement, like Kentucky jail staff who’ve used similar tech for years, say the shocks are temporary and effective, experts caution that without proper training, widespread use could lead to dangerous misuse—even if the tech itself is safe. Deployment remains pending finalized protocols. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
