Tom Homan Just Laid the Leather on Critics of the New Gear He Got for ICE
Assaults on ICE agents have spiked more than 1,300 percent since Trump took office. Now the agency wants to arm agents with something besides a firearm.The tool Homan just defended is already dividing Washington before agents even get it. DHS is planning to spend up to $20 million on a device called G.L.O.V.E., short for Generated Low Output Voltage Emitter. A Kentucky company called Compliant Technologies LLC builds it.
The glove looks normal until an agent activates it, then a single touch delivers a jolt strong enough to stop a combative suspect cold. No projectiles, no chase, no split second decision about pulling a trigger.
The manufacturer's own guidance keeps agents from using it on senior citizens, kids, pregnant women, or anyone with a serious disability.
ICE says agents will have to renew their certification every two years and are expected to try standard de-escalation tactics before ever reaching for the glove. DHS could start handing the gloves out as early as March 2027.
