| WIRED | THE PAINFUL TRUTH OF EXACTLY HOW ICE’S NEW SHOCK GLOVES WORK | 2 hrs ago |
According to WIRED, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is investing millions of dollars in a line of shock gloves intended to incapacitate subjects through intense, localized pain. The development marks a new approach in ICE’s enforcement toolkit.
WIRED reports that the gloves are engineered to deliver high‑intensity shock directly to a target’s body, with the goal of overpowering them without resorting to more conventional restraints. The article cites no specific figures beyond the overall multi‑million‑dollar spend and does not provide quotes from ICE officials or technical specifications.
The move reflects ICE’s ongoing efforts to modernize its containment methods, although the public and legal community have limited information on the gloves’ deployment or compliance with existing regulations.
