ICE Plans $20 Million Purchase of Electric-Shock Gloves, Raising Accountability Concerns

ICE plans to spend up to $20 million on thousands of GLOVE electric-shock gloves delivering 210–362 volt pulses through physical contact. The ACLU's Jenn Rolnick Borchetta says officers could activate the device via a small button "in a move that might be imperceptible to those watching," complicating accountability amid scrutiny of ICE use-of-force incidents in Texas and Maine. Delivery is required by March 2027.
