ICE awards $16.7 million contract for 6,000 electric shock gloves
The US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency has finalized a $16.7-million deal to purchase 6,000 pairs of electric shock gloves for its field personnel. The agency stated that these devices are intended to help officers manage detainees who become resistant. ICE, which serves as the primary agency for President Trump's immigration enforcement efforts, has previously drawn scrutiny regarding its use of force. Reports indicate that more than 50 individuals have passed away while in ICE custody during the Trump administration.
