The U.S. immigration agency ICE has announced plans to acquire electroshock gloves. These are intended to be used as so-called de-escalation devices, according to a statement from the Department of Homeland Security.

ICE's plans are met with resistance from civil rights advocates, who warn of potential consequences from unchecked police violence. Additionally, Democrats express concerns about a possible violation of the Constitution.
