- On Thursday, Oct. 1, 2026, two civil lawsuits were filed against the United States, Jonathan Ross, and federal officials.
- Named administration officials include Greg Bovino, Kristi Noem, Tom Homan, and Stephen Miller.
- Federal authorities called the shooting justified, but videos and witness accounts disputed that version.
- The lawsuits seek damages for Good’s suffering and her family’s profound, permanent losses.
The day of accountability has arrived for our own U.S. government and its governmental agencies. Our government is killing our citizens without any legal justification.— Antonio Romanucci, attorney, told reporters at a news conference after filing the lawsuits in Minneapolis.

- 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

- 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.
