ICE Plans to Give Officers Gloves that Can Deliver Painful Electric Shocks
Civil rights advocates warned the gloves could expand force as ICE plans to equip officers with a device that delivers shocks within seconds.
- ICE plans to spend up to $20 million on thousands of wearable devices capable of delivering painful electric shocks to help officers gain compliance from people considered combative.
- The devices, called G.L.O.V.E. , are manufactured by Kentucky-based Compliant Technologies and can be activated by a switch when an officer makes direct contact with a person’s skin.
- ICE’s planned acquisition has drawn criticism from civil liberties advocates, who argue that the technology could be misused and raises concerns about excessive force and accountability during immigration enforcement operations.
- The manufacturer says the gloves are intended as a non-lethal compliance tool, while officers must complete training and be recertified every two years, with the company warning against using them as punishment or on vulnerable people.
