'A High Potential for Abuse': Plan to Equip ICE Agents With Electric Shock Gloves Draws Alarm From Former Officials The Department of Homeland Security's plan to equip Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers with electric shock gloves has sent a chill through the ranks of former officials, who warn that this move is nothing short of a recipe for disaster.
The gloves, which can administer electrical shocks, are touted as a "conductive distraction and de escalation device" by DHS.
The plan to introduce these devices comes at a time when the use of force in immigration crackdowns has been under intense scrutiny.
