AP report: ICE plans to give its officers gloves that can deliver painful electric shocks | PBS News
Message Body The manufacturer warns the device should not be used as punishment, against people merely exhibiting "verbal defiance or belligerence" or on high-risk populations such as children, pregnant women or elderly or disabled people.
Jenn Rolnick Borchetta, deputy project director on policing at the American Civil Liberties Union, said the public should have no confidence that ICE officers will use the devices appropriately. She questioned why the devices would be necessary for civil immigration enforcement and noted those getting shocked might have no advance warning.
"ICE spent the last year showing this country they are too quick to use force. Now they will be able to deploy electric shocks with the slight push of a button that maybe nobody else can see them do," she said. "Introducing gloves that can so easily be used to deliver terrible pain in encounters is a recipe for harm to the public."…

Witnesses Dispute Trump Admin Account Of Fatal ICE Shooting | HuffPost Latest News
…Jose Trinidad Rojas, who was in the vehicle when the shooting occurred, wrote that the DHS statement “is a lie.”
“It is impossible for them to say that they were going to get run over,” the statement continued, as quoted by the Post, as “there were no officers in front of or behind the vehicle. They were on the sides.”…
Man killed by ICE agents not intended target of immigration arrest, DHS says
“On July 7, officers were almost at the target’s address when they observed a white van with an individual who resembled the target,” the official said.

The ICE agents who stopped Salgado Araujo claimed he “weaponized his vehicle in an attempt to run over an ICE law enforcement officer” who then fired “his weapon in self-defense”, but did not provide evidence to corroborate that account...
