ICE plans to equip officers with electric shock gloves

The US immigration police, ICE, plans to equip its officers with gloves that can deliver painful electric shocks, intended to make recalcitrant people comply.

The federal agency plans to spend up to $20 million on “distraction and de-escalation” equipment, according to a notice published by the Department of Homeland Security.

The gloves are called “Generated low output voltage emitter” - abbreviated “Glove” - and have been used by some detention centers and police authorities in recent years.
