ICE Reveals Horrific Plan to Outfit Agents With Electrocution Torture Gloves

The US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE) is set to spend up to $20 million on a new line of electrocution devices for their agents, according to the Associated Press. These gloves, known as GLOVEs, deliver a painful shock upon direct contact with someone's skin. ICE agents could use them to "gain compliance within seconds," according to the manufacturer Compliant Technologies. Civil rights advocates are outraged by the decision, warning of the potential for abuse and harm to the public.
