1:11Now PlayingThe Department of Homeland Security is planning to equip ICE officers with gloves that can deliver electric shocks to people being arrested. Compliant Technologies says the gloves are designed for de-escalation.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has faced intense scrutiny over its use of force, including multiple fatal shootings. Some immigrant advocates worry those guardrails won’t happen at the agency. In a statement, DHS told NPR that ICE is always assessing officer needs to ensure they have the tools to safely make arrests. Compliant Technologies declined to comment.
