ICE Electric-Shock Gloves: a story this desk has logged 1 time, held in one place
DHS's G.L.O.V.E. procurement for ICE officers, the coverage split over price/procurement-state/feel/naming, and what happens once the device leaves the demo room. This page is not new reporting: it is the whole chain in order, because a chain read end-to-end shows what no single entry can.
