In a development that may impact law enforcement procedures, Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers are potentially going to be equipped with new gear. The planned equipment includes gloves that can administer electric shocks. These gloves are intended to help manage combative individuals by delivering painful shocks.

The goal of using such devices is to gain compliance from those who resist. Further information on this plan can be found through ABC13 Houston, which initially reported on the proposed use of these gloves by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers.
