Yo, ICE is reportedly buying up "shock gloves" which deliver a non-lethal electric shock to people when you put your hands on them.
Here's a demonstration of the technology:

Here's the Associated Press:
ICE plans to spend between $10 million and $20 million to outfit officers and agents with 'conductive distraction and de-escalation devices,' according to a notice published Monday and revealed first by The Associated Press.
The devices known as the G.L.O.V.E., which stands for Generated Low Output Voltage Emitter, are normal patrol gloves until an officer presses a button to activate its electrical mode. They must be applied directly to someone's skin to produce a voltage that causes pain, which is intended to gain compliance from people who are resisting. Unlike Tasers, they do not leave burn or contact marks.
The people who are complaining about ICE agents having guns, about the use of tasers, are now going to complain that ICE has found an even less lethal and less dangerous way to deal with people resisting arrest.
The agents will have to actually get close enough to put hands on skin in order to do anything, putting officers in closer proximity to potential danger, and somehow this is viewed as an escalation.
'We are outraged,' New York Attorney General Letitia James said at a news conference Wednesday, where she warned that ICE officers who misuse the gloves in her state could face criminal and civil consequences.
Yes, you read that right, Tish James STILL has a job.
Also, she's going to sue ICE if they lay hands on an illegal immigrant.
