Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers in the United States will soon be equipped with electric shock gloves. The purpose of these gloves is to make uncooperative individuals comply. ICE plans to spend $20 million to purchase thousands of 'less-lethal devices' by March.
These devices, known as Generated Low Output Voltage Emitter (G.L.O.V.E.), are manufactured by Compliant Technologies LLC and have been used by some prisons and police departments in recent years. Civil rights advocates have expressed alarm over the plan, given that ICE officers are already subject to criticism.
