ICE to invest up to $20 million in electric shock gloves for enforcement officers

11 Ağustos 2026The Guardian

ICE is set to invest up to $20 million in electric shock gloves designed to enforce compliance among individuals. The gloves, known as Glove (Generated Low Output Voltage Emitter), are manufactured by Compliant Technologies LLC and are expected to be deployed by March.
According to the manufacturer, the shocks are effective in achieving compliance in under three seconds.
This procurement comes amidst ongoing debates about the use of force in law enforcement and the treatment of individuals in immigration detention. The use of electric shock devices has been controversial, with critics arguing that they can lead to severe physical and psychological harm.
The decision to purchase these electric shock gloves raises significant ethical concerns regarding the treatment of individuals in custody. While the agency claims the devices will enhance compliance, the potential for abuse and the psychological impact on detainees cannot be overlooked.
