U.S. immigration enforcement is set to deploy $20 million worth of electric shock gloves intended to increase subject compliance during arrests. NPR and BBC reporting aligns on the procurement scale and the manufacturer’s stance that the tools are safe when operated correctly. Unlike standard restraint methods, this deployment introduces an active electrical component to routine detentions. However, neither source details the specific use-of-force policies that will govern these devices, leaving it unclear how efficacy and safety will be measured in high-stress enforcement scenarios.
