ICE is buying wearable electric-shock devices for its agents — gloves that deliver a current through the hands of the person wearing them, on people who are being detained, not convicted. There is no version of this that is about safety. A shock delivered by a hand is a weapon designed to hurt someone quietly, leave little to photograph, and end an argument about compliance before anyone can ask a question. Agencies that answer to almost no one should be the last ones handed a tool like that, and the deaths already recorded in immigration custody are the reason why. Resistbot is asking the candidates on your 2026 ballot to block the purchase and deployment of electric-shock devices by immigration enforcement, and to put a binding use-of-force standard for DHS into law — public reporting on every incident, and independent investigation of every death in custody.
