California bans police use of electric-shock gloves ICE planned to equip agents with

Sep 29, 2026

California enacted a law banning local, state and federal law enforcement officers from using electric-shock gloves, effective next year through 2030. The move comes weeks after ICE awarded a nearly $17 million contract to purchase 6,000 pairs of the gloves for its officers. Governor Gavin Newsom signed the bill, framing it as part of a broader effort to push back against the Trump administration's immigration enforcement tactics.
