Senators oppose ICE's $16.7 million electric shock gloves purchase

In recent weeks, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement awarded a $16.7 million contract for 6,000 pairs of electric shock gloves. The decision has faced opposition from a group of Democratic senators, led by Catherine Cortez Masto, who raised concerns about the potential misuse of the gloves. ICE plans to use the gloves to control detainees and protesters, but critics argue that the agency has a history of excessive force, prompting calls for greater oversight and transparency regarding their use.
