The federal immigration agency ICE plans to invest up to $20 million in a new device known as G.L.O.V.E., which allows agents to deliver electric shocks through gloves. Reportedly, this equipment would be activated by a button, causing painful electric shocks to those whom agents attempt to subdue.
