ICE agents with a new weapon: they'll shock people

The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency plans to purchase 6,000 pairs of electric shock gloves at a cost of around $17 million, according to the Trump administration. These gloves, which deliver an electric shock upon contact, are intended for use in 'exceptional circumstances' such as arrests, transporting detainees, and responding to disturbances in detention facilities. The decision has drawn criticism from human rights organizations and members of the Democratic Party, who fear the gloves could be misused by ICE agents, already criticized for aggressive enforcement tactics under Trump's immigration policies. Human rights groups and senators have raised concerns over past incidents involving excessive force by ICE agents, including fatalities during raids and in detention centers.
