Trump's ICE Gets Shock Gloves: US Agents' Latest 'Pain Weapon' For Law Enforcement Or Brutality?
Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown could soon see ICE agents equipped with electric-shock gloves, sparking a fierce debate over the use of force by US immigration
Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown could soon see ICE agents equipped with electric-shock gloves, sparking a fierce debate over the use of force by US immigration authorities. US Immigration and Customs Enforcement is reportedly considering spending up to $20 million on the GLOVE device, which can deliver electric shocks through direct contact with exposed skin. The device can reportedly deliver up to 380 volts and as many as 30 pulses per second.
The proposed purchase has alarmed civil rights groups, including the ACLU, which warns that giving immigration agents a concealed way to deliver pain could increase the risk of abuse and reduce accountability. The Department of Homeland Security says ICE is assessing equipment needed to help officers safely carry out arrests and removals. The gloves are already used by some law enforcement agencies, while their manufacturer says they do not cause injury.
With ICE under intense pressure to accelerate deportations under Trump’s immigration agenda, the proposed shock gloves have become the latest flashpoint in America’s escalating immigration enforcement battle.
