ICE plans $20M electric-shock gloves

ICE is planning to purchase electric-shock gloves for use in enforcement, drawing condemnation from human rights groups and prompting a call to action for a March on Washington. Senator King issued a statement condemning the gloves, while Tom Homan defended them. Kentucky Gov. Beshear called ICE 'worst-trained, most aggressive' and demanded retraining, tying the contract to a Lexington firm. A new bipartisan letter led by Reps. Thanedar, Thompson, and Correa pressures DHS Secretary Mullin to halt the $20M procurement, adding to congressional oversight.
