U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is moving forward with plans to equip its agents with stun gloves, following a contract potentially worth up to $20 million. The announcement, reported by RT.com, indicates a significant escalation in the non-lethal tools available to ICE officers. Details surrounding the specific deployment and usage guidelines for these “shock gloves” remain limited. The contract raises concerns about potential for abuse and the level of force authorized for immigration enforcement. Critics argue the move signals a hardening of ICE tactics. The DHS has not yet released comprehensive details regarding the rationale behind the purchase or projected implementation timelines. Further information can be found at RT.com.
