Human Rights Watch revealed ICE intends to deploy electric shock gloves as a restraint tool. Schools in Omaha have already used the devices on students, prompting officials to ban their use in educational settings.
Human Rights Watch uncovered plans for ICE to use electric shock gloves as a restraint tool on people in immigration detention. Schools in Omaha had already tested the devices on students before officials banned them from educational settings—raising questions about why law enforcement would consider tools deemed unsafe for schools.
This reveals a gap between what's been prohibited in schools and what remains permissible in detention facilities. The fact that educational institutions rejected the technology but ICE intends to deploy it suggests a divergence in oversight and accountability standards between sectors.
