ICE buys 6,000 shock gloves despite army study showing excessive pain

ICE signed a $16.7m contract for 6,000 pairs of electric-shock gloves in August, despite an unreleased army study showing the devices induced intense pain and excessive fear in military subjects. The study's findings were known to ICE leadership before the purchase. This raises concerns about the use of force and potential legal challenges.
