Army Study: ICE Shock Gloves Cause Intense Pain, Fast Compliance

A previously unreleased Army assessment confirms ICE's electric-shock GLOVE gloves work by inflicting intense pain rather than de-escalation. ICE signed a $16.7 million contract for 6,000 pairs at $2,495 each, but use-of-force rules, training and independent oversight remain unpublished.

• ICE signed a $16.7M contract for 6,000 GLOVE shock gloves in August 2026
• Each pair costs $2,495, with the rest covering support equipment and services
• Fort Leavenworth tests showed rapid compliance but were not a medical safety study
• 16 Democratic senators demand ICE cancel the purchase or explain its intended use
