- ICE plans to spend up to US$20 million by March on thousands of the devices, while a no-bid solicitation could be published as early as Friday.
- Known as the G.L.O.V.E., the devices are made by Compliant Technologies LLC of Lexington, Kentucky, and have been used in recent years by some jails and police departments.
- The manufacturer says the gloves are activated by a switch and must be applied directly to the skin, while warning against using them as punishment or on children, pregnant women, elderly people or people with disabilities.
- Civil rights advocates questioned the need for and proper use of the devices by ICE, while the manufacturer requires users to complete training and recertify every two years.
ICE spent the last year showing this country they are too quick to use force. Now they will be able to deploy electric shocks with the slight push of a button that maybe nobody else can see them do. Introducing gloves that can so easily be used to deliver terrible pain in encounters is a recipe for harm to the public.— Jenn Rolnick Borchetta, deputy project director on policing at the American Civil Liberties Union, commenting on ICE plans.

- On Monday, DHS published a notice for the planned purchase of thousands of GLOVE devices from Compliant Technologies for up to $20 million.
- Democrats in both chambers of Congress and rights advocates denounced the proposal, while Sen. Adam Schiff said Republicans had given DHS billions more without constraints in June.
- According to a January YouGov poll, 58% of respondents considered ICE tactics too forceful, 57% disapproved of the agency’s work, and 46% supported abolishing it.
- Representatives Delia Ramirez and Yvette Clarke introduced the Melt ICE Act in January, while a Democratic National Committee panel advanced a resolution to abolish ICE on Thursday, August 13.
Abolish and prosecute ICE.— Rep. Seth Moulton (D-Mass.) said, noting that the agency is known to torture and kill our neighbors, and calling for ICE to be abolished and prosecuted.

- Plans posted by DHS this week indicate that ICE intends to acquire the gloves from Compliant Technologies, a veteran-owned company based in Kentucky.
- The device, called the G.L.O.V. E., delivers an electric shock through skin contact when a wrist button is pressed, resembling a Taser but without emerging prongs.
- Demonstrations appear to show the gloves causing pain, with many officers grimacing or shouting and almost all falling to the ground.
- The ACLU questions whether ICE personnel will be adequately trained amid plans to hire more than 12,000 officers in less than a year, while DHS points to de-escalation training and ongoing assessments of officers’ needs.
The idea of arming ICE agents with limited training and a recent track record of misusing force and using it way too much, to hand them this kind of weapon is reckless and surprising.— Naureen Shah, director of policy and government affairs for immigration with the ACLU

- On Aug 11, after leaving Air Force One at Joint Base Andrews near Washington, Trump said the Secret Service and military had ordered the switch to another aircraft over unspecified safety threats.
- The Washington Post reported that an Iranian assassination threat against Trump prompted the manoeuvre, but Bloomberg has not confirmed the details.
- According to the Post, Trump initially boarded the older Air Force One in Ankara, exited on the opposite side, was taken by catering truck to a smaller Air Force C-32A and flew it to England.
- The White House and US Air Force said the new, Qatari-gifted Boeing temporarily serving as the presidential aircraft was secure, while Trump said it would receive further upgrades.
They wanted me to go on a different flight, a different plane, equal safety, but they wanted me to do it, so I do it. I do what they say.— President Donald Trump told reporters on Aug 11 after deplaning Air Force One at Joint Base Andrews outside Washington while returning from Ohio.

- Donald Trump is suing the BBC for $10 billion over a documentary that showed an edited version of his speech before the events of Jan. 6.
- The BBC is seeking testimony and records from Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner, and Donald Trump Jr., who were reportedly involved in preparing the speech or present during the hours before it was delivered.
- In May, BBC lawyers tried to deliver subpoenas to Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner at their Miami home but were prevented from doing so by police, according to court filings.
- The BBC is asking the U.S. District Court in Miami to permit service by mail or through third parties after the Secret Service declined and Trump’s legal team opposed the request.
The United States Secret Service, as an agency of the United States Government, is not authorized to accept service of these subpoenas for these individuals, nor can we opine on how you all may best facilitate or effectuate service of these subpoenas.— From the BBC's court motion quoting the Secret Service General Counsel.
