Episode Details

ICE is rolling out electric shock gloves—called G.L.O.V.E.s—for officers, designed to subdue resisting individuals with a sharp, bee-sting-like pain. Priced at up to $20 million for thousands of units, the tech activates only when switched on and is marketed for high-risk scenarios like violent suspects or self-harming inmates. But civil rights groups warn it could fuel abuse, especially given ICE’s history of force and lack of oversight. Despite manufacturer restrictions against use on children, elders, or for punishment, advocates fear these easily concealed tools will be misused, escalating harm in already scrutinized enforcement operations.
