Summary
The agency plans to invest up to US$20 million in the purchase of thousands of "conductive distraction and de-escalation devices" to equip its agents by March, according to a notice from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released Monday. Agents of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) could soon have gloves capable of delivering electric shocks to control people who resist during immigration operations. FOTO: AP Civil rights advocates expressed alarm over the plan and noted that ICE agents are already subject to criticism for their use of force or accountability when executing the immigration offensive of President Donald Trump.
Furthermore, The devices, known as G.L.O.V.E. — an acronym for "Generation of Low Voltage Discharge Emitter" — are manufactured by Compliant Technologies LLC, a company based in Lexington, Kentucky. I compare it to a bee sting,” said John Peters, president of the Institute for the Prevention of In-Custody Deaths, who studies how the device has been used. “If the agent receives any kind of resistance, it is certainly an effective tool.”. According to the notice, the solicitation for a no-bid contract could be published as early as Friday.
In addition, According to Compliant Technologies, they have been used to subdue violent suspects who refuse to get into patrol cars and inmates who harm themselves and threaten officers. He added that he could envision ICE agents using these devices to help remove people from cars and homes, as well as for their transport to and from detention centers. To use the gloves, agents must complete a course and renew their certification every two years, according to the manufacturer.
