WASHINGTON, Aug 27 (Reuters) – The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency granted a $16.7 million contract to buy ​6,000 pairs of electric shock gloves for officers in the ‌field despite human rights advocates having raised alarm about the plans when they were revealed earlier this month.

  • A notice on a federal database said that ICE, which has ​been the face of President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown, entered into a ​no-bid contract to purchase the gloves from Kentucky-based firm Compliant ⁠Technologies.
  • The notice said 6,000 of the devices, which can give painful electric ​shocks and aim to disrupt an individual’s capacity to respond, will be bought ​with support equipment and services over the next six months.
  • The website of the Department of Homeland Security, of which ICE is a part, said this month ICE ​planned to buy CTG-5 Generated Low Output Voltage Emitter, or GLOVE ​units.
  • The American Civil Liberties Union said that giving immigration agents “a concealed means of delivering ‌terrible ⁠pain is a recipe for more harm to the public and less accountability.”
  • DHS described the gloves as “a Conductive Distraction and De-escalation Device which will be issued to Homeland Security Investigations and Enforcement Removal Operations officers ​and agents.”
  • Fatal shootings ​by ICE agents ⁠of two U.S. citizens in Minnesota earlier this year and concerns by rights groups about conditions in ICE ​detention have sparked protests.
  • Over 50 people have died in ​ICE ⁠custody nationwide since Trump took office early last year.
  • Trump says his immigration crackdown aims to improve domestic security.
  • Rights groups call it discriminatory, saying it violates ⁠free ​speech and due process rights while also ​creating an unsafe environment, particularly for ethnic minorities, who have raised concerns about racial profiling.
