  "summary": "The Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency has entered into a $16.7 million contract for a new line of electric-shock gloves, which were subjected to an intense pain-inducing military exercise. The study, which has not been previously disclosed, revealed that the gloves were so effective in causing discomfort that participants stopped fighting immediately upon exposure. The ICE agency was reportedly aware of these findings before finalizing the deal, as evidenced by records obtained by American Oversight and shared with the Associated Press.",
