美国移民与海关执法局(ICE)计划投入1000万至2000万美元采购一款名为CTG-5 G.L.O.V.E.的电击手套,供执法人员使用[1]。该设备通过释放电流造成疼痛并干扰被控制人员的肌肉运动[1]。招标文件预计最早于8月14日发布[1]。
针对这一举措,包括美国公民自由联盟(ACLU)在内的民权组织表达了关切。ACLU警务事务副主任珍·罗尔尼克·博尔切塔指出,"执法人员可能利用手套以不易察觉的方式实施电击,从而增加武力滥用风险"[1]。ACLU还表示,"过去一年,移民与海关执法局向全美展示了,部分人员漠视法规、动辄动用武力,对公民与外籍人士造成严重伤害,甚至引发死亡惨剧"[1]。美国国土安全部则表示执法人员已接受相关培训[1]。
The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency plans to invest between $10 million and $20 million to procure stun gloves called the CTG-5 G.L.O.V.E., intended for use by enforcement personnel [1]. The device operates by delivering electrical current to cause pain and disrupt muscle control in restrained individuals [1]. Procurement documents are expected to be released as early as August 14 [1].
Civil rights organizations, including the American Civil Liberties Union, have expressed serious concerns about the acquisition. According to Jen Rolnick Borchetta, the ACLU's deputy director of police practices, "enforcement officers could potentially use the gloves to administer shocks in ways that are difficult to detect, thereby increasing the risk of excessive force" [1]. The ACLU further stated that "over the past year, Immigration and Customs Enforcement has demonstrated that some personnel disregard regulations, readily resort to force, and cause serious harm to citizens and foreign nationals, even resulting in fatal incidents" [1]. In response, the Department of Homeland Security indicated that enforcement personnel have received relevant training [1].
