ICE’s Shock Gloves Spark State Pushback | Rochester News

ICE is reportedly set to spend up to $20 million on electric shock gloves—called “C-T-G five gloves”—to equip agents by March next year, sparking outrage from New York’s top officials including Governor Hochul and Mayor Mamdani, who condemn the move as excessive. Attorney General Letitia James calls it arbitrary and vows to investigate. ICE defends the purchase as necessary for safely handling arrests of “criminal illegal aliens,” claiming all tech meets legal standards. Meanwhile, the Hochul administration announces a $7.25 million investment to provide lawyers for 1,400 migrant children without counsel, timed just before new state laws limit local cooperation with ICE and allow lawsuits over constitutional violations—highlighting a growing tension between state and federal immigration enforcement.
