Trump administration plans to equip ICE officers with electric-shock gloves

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security plans to spend up to $20 million on electric shock gloves for federal immigration agents, raising concerns among rights advocates. The CT-G5 G.L.O.V.E. gloves, intended for distraction and de-escalation, can deliver up to 380 volts. Critics, including the National Immigration Law Center, argue this will increase violence against vulnerable communities, especially as ICE faces scrutiny over its tactics and deaths in custody.
