A plan by Immigration and Customs Enforcement to equip officers with gloves that deliver electric shocks has sparked criticism. The gloves, known as conductive distraction and de-escalation devices, are designed to produce a painful voltage when applied directly to someone's skin. This is intended to gain compliance from individuals who are resisting.

The plan has been met with outrage from Democratic officials and civil rights advocates, who consider it unnecessary and cruel. Further details about the plan, including its potential implementation and cost, are available from the source. The cost of outfitting officers with these devices is estimated to be between $10 million and $20 million.

More information can be found through The Associated Press, which initially revealed the plan.
