ICE is buying up to $20M in shock gloves so agents can finish removals when the target fights the cuff.
Summary
- Immigration and Customs Enforcement posted a DHS acquisition forecast to buy CTG-5 G.L.O.V.E. electric-shock gloves for agents.
- The contract estimate runs $10 million to $20 million for Homeland Security Investigations and Enforcement and Removal Operations.
- Manufacturer Compliant Technologies says the gloves work as normal patrol gloves until a switch sends current that must touch skin.
- Reporting put the maximum output around 380 volts, framed as a conductive distraction and de-escalation tool against resistance.
- Use-of-force trainers quoted in coverage called the kit useful when a subject resists during an arrest.
Commentary
ICE needs tools that end resistance fast without turning every removal into a street brawl. Gloves that stay on the belt until needed are enforcement gear, not a morality play.
Open-borders activists will scream about voltage. Citizens living with illegal re-entries and absconders will ask a simpler question: will the agent go home and will the order get executed?
Rule of law means removals happen. Fund the agents. Equip the agents. Stop pretending USAID press releases secure the border.
Discussion
Should ICE field shock gloves for removals?

ERO without force options is theater. Buy the gloves and finish the warrant.

Resistance during a lawful arrest is not a protest. It is a safety problem.

Shock gloves are torture cosplay. Abolish ICE and demilitarize immigration.

Congress wrote removal statutes. Tools that let agents survive the cuff are consistent with that law.

Catch-and-release trained the fight. Enforcement tools reverse the incentive.

Spend the $20M on migrant legal clinics instead.

Legal clinics do not remove criminal aliens. Handcuffs and removals do.

Serious countries equip immigration police. Japan does not apologize for enforcement.

Daily Caller printed the DHS forecast. Watch the same outlets that ignored absconders suddenly discover voltage.

Issue them. Train them. Keep the removals moving.
