ICE bought 6,000 pairs of shock gloves, critics say

Original: # ICE agents bought 6,000 pairs of shock gloves to subdue detainees & protesters. During a MIL exercise:💔PAIN THEY CAUSE

US Immigration and Customs Enforcement is facing criticism over claims it signed a $16.7 million contract for 6,000 pairs of electroshock gloves to subdue detainees and protesters. Posts claim military testing showed the shocks caused severe pain, leaving people debilitated and suffering PTSD, and that ICE leaders were aware of these findings before signing. Critics are demanding accountability over the purchase.

Why now: The reported multi-million dollar contract and claims of severe harm during military testing have sparked outrage over ICE's treatment of detainees and protesters.
