Democratic Senators Urge ICE to Cancel Purchase of Shock Gloves
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
A group of U.S. senators led by Democrat Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada urged the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to cancel its plan to equip agents with gloves capable of delivering painful electric shocks. In a letter sent Thursday to the acting director of ICE, Cortez Masto and 15 of her colleagues from the Democratic caucus questioned the necessity of the agency spending up to $20 million on the devices, as well as the agency's ability to use them properly. 'The egregious and tragic misuse of force in Los Angeles, Chicago, Minneapolis, Houston, Maine, and other places across the country raises considerable skepticism about the agency's professional capacity to safely deploy a new tool that could be used to harm Americans without cause,' the letter states.
