U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is planning to spend up to $20 million on gloves that can deliver painful electric shocks to individuals, according to a notice from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
The gloves, intended for use by ICE agents, have raised concerns about their potential impact on individuals and the constitutional implications of their use.
According to the DHS notice, the contract for the gloves could be worth up to $20 million, indicating a significant investment by ICE in this technology.
The use of such gloves by ICE agents may raise questions about the potential for excessive force and the protection of individual rights.
CBS News legal contributor Jessica Levinson has noted that the use of these gloves could lead to constitutional questions, highlighting the need for careful consideration of their deployment.
Further details on the gloves and their intended use are not immediately available, but the planned expenditure has sparked interest and concern about the role of this technology in immigration enforcement.
