ICE’s Shock Gloves Spark Debate | Houston News
Description
ICE is rolling out a new $20 million tech upgrade: electric-shock gloves called G.L.O.V.E., designed to subdue without breaking skin. Backed by Compliant Technologies, the gloves have already caused officers to lose control in demo videos. As ICE faces mounting scrutiny over recent fatal shootings, immigrant advocates warn about unchecked use — especially with hastily hired officers lacking proper training. While officials say de-escalation training exists, experts stress the need for strict policies and accountability. The tech, already used in schools, raises alarms despite claims of zero injuries — highlighting a dangerous gap between innovation and oversight.
