ICE plans to spend $20m on electric gloves capable of delivering 380V shocks to detainees

US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) plans to spend up to $20 million on specialised electric gloves capable of delivering 380-volt shocks to people being detained. The manufacturer describes the device as a de-escalation tool for use during interventions. The procurement plan has raised serious concerns among human rights organisations over potential misuse against immigrants.
