Democrats urge ICE to halt purchase of electric gloves 'before more innocent lives are lost'

House Democrats are demanding DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin halt ICE's procurement of electric shock gloves for immigration enforcement agents. The gloves would be used during immigrant detention and deportation operations, raising concerns about excessive force and potential loss of life.

✦ What This Means For Us

This directly threatens the safety of Black immigrants — including students from African and Caribbean nations enrolled at HBCUs — who are disproportionately targeted by ICE enforcement. International students from Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, Haiti, and Jamaica make up significant populations at several HBCUs. The introduction of electric shock devices escalates the threat level for undocumented and documented immigrants alike, particularly in mixed-status Black families connected to HBCU communities.
