The US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency has awarded a $16.7 million contract to a Kentucky-based company to purchase 6,000 electric shock gloves, despite criticism from several senators. The gloves, described as "deescalating devices" by ICE, are intended to reduce the need for more severe force, but critics argue they could cause harm.
The purchase is planned to be completed by March 2027. Several Democratic senators, including a dozen who wrote to ICE Acting Director David Venturella, have expressed concerns about the agency's ability to safely use the gloves.
