When it comes to illegal immigration, there is no winning with the Left in America except by abandoning federal law completely and simply letting the illegals overrun America.
ICE agents have been under fire for their justified shootings of some illegals and criminals, while the media leaves out the key details that these people were violently attacking those federal officers or trying to run them over.
Never let it be said, however, that DHS and ICE don't want to find a kinder, gentler method of dealing with these criminals and rioters.
In this case, 'kinder and gentler' involves giving them a little jolt of FAFO to subdue them.
The Department of Homeland Security plans to equip ICE officers with gloves that emit electric shocks to use on people who are not cooperating in the field, according to an agency notice. https://t.co/9vn70RzADD

According to The Washington Post, this new tool delivers a low-voltage charge to deal with unruly, screeching mobs of AWFLs and non-compliant criminals who are in America illegally:
... The devices will be issued to officers and agents in DHS’s criminal investigative unit and Enforcement Removal Operations, which is responsible for arresting and removing people who are in the country unlawfully.
A page on the U.S. Army’s website describes the device as a rechargeable glove that upon contact “sends electrical pulses” that stimulate nerves under the skin, allowing an officer to “gain compliance in use of force scenarios.”
A DHS spokesperson said in a statement that ICE is “constantly assessing” its officers’ needs in the field “to ensure they have the tools and equipment necessary to safely arrest and remove criminal illegal aliens.”

If this sounds pretty awesome to you, then you are not an unhinged leftist harpy, many of whom screamed on Twitter that the CTG-5 GLOVE (Generated Low Output Voltage Emitter) is, somehow, also fascism.
Do we really think, based on current behavior, that ICE will only use this on “uncooperative” people? U.S. citizens are being dragged down, punched, kicked, etc. because ICE claims they tried to run over them. They back off when video is recording their actions. This is horrible.

Well, don't attack ICE agents and you won't be dragged down, punched, kicked, OR shocked.
It's not rocket surgery.
A government shows its values in what it chooses to fund. This one is choosing to spend millions to give ICE yet another tool for inflicting pain on people.

The last thing ICE needs is more tools for unaccountable violence. https://t.co/YeetyWaASm
This is the same Chris Coons who thinks it's fine and dandy that illegals vote in American elections, so we're not going to pay much attention to his tantrum.
Sadistic and sick DHS plan:

ICE officers will be outfitted with gloves that emit electric shocks to use on people who they deem "not cooperating" in the field. https://t.co/4YeJrZ85WF
No, sadistic and sick is letting illegals murder and sexually assault young women and not wanting to address that problem.
More people will die https://t.co/9NreTPnBrp

Die? From getting tased?
Excuse us while we roll our eyes completely back into our heads.
Of course, we expected this reaction from the left. They hate lethal enforcement against people who attack cops. They hate non-lethal enforcement as well.
Basically, they just hate ANY enforcement. Because they hate America.
Thankfully, everyone else on Twitter thought this was an outstanding new weapon against those who would destroy our country, and expressed their enthusiasm with some hilarious images and memes.

HA!
We know the Jacka** crew would love to field test the GLOVE ... on each other.
Yes! pic.twitter.com/Z4mzomqRmu

Of course, there were plenty of Emperor Palpatine replies.
We can't wait for some violent rioters to understand the true power of the ICE side.

Ice (or ICE, if you will) and lightning together?
Unstoppable!

There's something about Spider-Man and foes who love electricity.

Looks like young Spidey learned a lesson or two about the power of The Shocker in his latest movie.
Of course, other comic book characters are known for their sparky powers as well.

ICE already has Superman in Dean Cain, but he can always use some help.

YEEEEEEESSSSSS!
(Uhh, don't worry. DHS will make sure the ED-209 actually works this time.)

OK, we'll take that, too.
Despite the left melting down again about the latest weapon in ICE's arsenal to deliver the deportations America voted for, the lesson of the CTG-5 GLOVE is a very simple one.
Don't attack ICE agents and you have nothing to worry about. pic.twitter.com/y8GcbEpiSZ

As the old GEICO commercials used to say, 'So easy, even a caveman can do it.'
Then again, most cavemen had far more brain power than the average leftist today.
We're sure one of them will play the FA game soon against a federal officer with shock gloves.
And you can bet your buns that we'll be there for the FO.
