美国移民与海关执法局（ICE）计划在3月前花费至多2000万美元采购数千副能释放电击的手套。[1]这种名为"低输出电压发生器手套"（Glove，Generated Low Output Voltage Emitter）的设备由肯塔基州列克星敦市的公司Compliant Technologies LLC制造。[1]
制造商声称这种手套释放的电击"通常能在不到三秒内使个体服从，不留烧伤、痕迹或疤痕"。[1]美国羁押死亡预防研究所主席John Peters将其体验描述为"立刻而尖锐，会让你分心"，并把它比作"蜜蜂蜇一样"。[1]
民权组织对此举提出了严重关切。美国公民自由联盟的Jenn Rolnick Borchetta表示，"ICE花了去年时间向这个国家证明他们太容易使用暴力。现在他们将能够按一下按钮释放电击，也许没有人能看到他们这样做"。[1]
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is planning to spend up to $20 million on thousands of electric shock gloves before March, according to procurement documents [1]. The devices, called Glove (Generated Low Output Voltage Emitter), are manufactured by Compliant Technologies LLC, a Kentucky-based company located in Lexington [1].
The manufacturer claims the gloves deliver electrical pulses designed to compel compliance, stating that "discomfort typically causes an individual to comply in less than three seconds without leaving burns, marks, or scars" [1]. John Peters, chairman of the Institute for the Study of Accelerated Change in Custody, described the sensation as immediate and sharp, likening it to a bee sting that distracts the recipient [1].
Civil rights advocates have sharply criticized the procurement. Jenn Rolnick Borchetta of the American Civil Liberties Union expressed alarm at the technology's potential for abuse, stating: "ICE spent last year proving to this country that they are too quick to use violence. Now they will be able to press a button to deliver electric shocks, and perhaps no one will see them do it" [1].
