Headline: UNCAPTIONED: ICE Plans to Equip Agents With Electric Shock Gloves
Caption: ICE Plans to Equip Agents With Electric Shock Gloves. ICE plans to spend up to $20 million on gloves capable of delivering electric shocks. The GLOVE device can deliver up to 380 volts and activate with a button press. Civil rights groups have condemned the proposal, warning it could increase excessive force during immigration enforcement. The gloves can deliver up to 30 electrical pulses per second when touching exposed skin. Manufacturers claim the devices do not cause injuries, while officials describe them as pain-based compliance tools. ICE says the equipment could help officers safely arrest and remove people violating immigration laws. The planned purchase could become the largest order ever placed with the glove manufacturer. Critics argue concealed electric shocks could make abuses harder to detect during enforcement operations. The proposal comes as ICE faces growing scrutiny over tactics and fatal incidents involving immigration officers. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
