US plans electric-shock gloves for ICE agents

The Trump administration plans to spend up to $20 million on electric-shock gloves for ICE agents, according to a Homeland Security notice. Rights advocates criticize the move, fearing harm to immigrants and protesters. The gloves, made by Compliant Technologies, deliver up to 380 volts and are intended for distraction and de-escalation.
