ICE Moves Forward with $16.7 Million Contract for Electric Shock Gloves Despite Senatorial Opposition

ICE has signed a no-bid contract with Compliant Technologies LLC for 6,000 electric shock gloves, totaling $16.7 million, to be used for subduing uncooperative detainees.
Senator Catherine Cortez Masto and 15 other senators have urged ICE to cancel the purchase, citing risks to safety and constitutional rights, and demanding transparency on training and oversight.
ICE plans to use the gloves in high-tension situations, claiming they will help maintain control and prevent injuries, but critics question the agency's ability to deploy them safely.
