Immigration and Customs Enforcement is planning to acquire electric shock gloves to enhance their use of force capabilities. These gloves, called G.L.O.V.E.s, are designed to induce pain and incapacitate individuals by disrupting their muscle control. The Department of Homeland Security intends to invest between $10 and $20 million for this initiative, issuing the devices to specific ICE divisions. The manufacturer advises against using the gloves on vulnerable populations like children, the elderly, or pregnant women. Concerns have been raised by the ACLU regarding potential misuse and lack of accountability for officers using such technology. The gloves work by direct skin contact, aiming to prevent coordinated movements through pain. Users will require certification training every two years, and DHS states officers receive extensive de-escalation and use of force training. This development occurs amidst increased scrutiny of ICE's use-of-force tactics and a broader context of ramped-up immigration enforcement. The agency is also expanding its use of body cameras and has received significant funding for removals.
