President Donald Trump’s administration is handing federal agents a “scary” new weapon to use against Americans, CNN’s Juliette Kayyem warned Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and officers could soon be outfitted with gloves capable of delivering electric shocks, which the manufacturer claims would be used to de-escalate encounters, but Kayyem told “CNN News Central” these weapons could pose a real threat.<\/p>\n

“ICE is not known for de-escalation,” she said. “The rules of engagement for ICE are not understood, and with this mandate from the White House of 2,000 arrests a day, you now have sort of issued ICE to sort of go around, touch people and zap them and say that they’re not compliant.”<\/p>\n

“I’m going to be direct here,” Kayyem added. “We know ICE lies, they’ve been shown to lie. They have, and so this could be a real danger for the American public.”<\/p>\n

ICE intends to spend up to $20 million to purchase the Generated Low Output Voltage Emitters, according to a notice published Monday by the Department of Homeland Security.<\/p>\n

The devices would be delivered by the end of March 2027.<\/p>\n

The gloves carry a low-output voltage emitter with a simple on-off switch, Kayyem said, meaning a person touched by an agent may feel nothing until it’s activated, at which point the wearer can deliver a jolt described as an intense bee sting for up to 15 seconds.<\/p>\n

Based on public records, the devices have mostly been deployed in confined settings like jails, where detainees have little freedom of movement \u2014 a context, she said, where their use “may make sense.”<\/p>\n

Handing the same tool to ICE agents operating among the general public is a different matter entirely, Kayyem argued. <\/p>\n

Kayyem argued a quota imposed by White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller and the president shows that ICE has strayed from its core mission.<\/p>\n

“These guys and women who have been on boarded with less training, support, less rule, fewer rules of engagement,” she said. “So giving them a new tool is dangerous with this mandate.”<\/p>\n

The White House’s promise to target “the worst of the worst” is “so clearly not true anymore,” she said.<\/p>\n

Kayyem concluded, “It’s the combination of the mandate with the resources that has become the sort of scary aspect of ICE for most of the American public.”<\/p>\n
