Risk of Abuse

There is significant concern that electric shock gloves could be misused, leading to torture or excessive force against individuals in ICE custody, violating basic human rights.

Humane Treatment

Immigration policy should prioritize humane treatment and due process, focusing on de-escalation and fair processing rather than the introduction of pain-inflicting devices.

Escalates Force

Introducing these devices could create an environment where force is too readily applied, rather than addressing the root causes of non-compliance through less confrontational methods.
