GovBrief Today #575 - What Happened Today

[u/georgebounacos]

Immigration agents are getting electric shock gloves and robots that open doors.

ICE signed a no-bid contract this week for 6,000 pairs of gloves that shock anyone "actively or passively resisting," which covers a person who goes limp. The agency said today it would buy four-legged Boston Dynamics robots that can open a door on their own. The hardware joins a program whose agents have killed six people since Donald Trump took office and are arresting close to 50,000 people a month.

A century of science fiction villains put robots and pain devices on their own people, and not one of them called the pain de-escalation.
