New York's Democratic leaders are warning potential legal consequences if U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) pursues a $20M purchase of electric shock gloves. The equipment has raised concerns among lawmakers, who see it as inhumane and potentially unconstitutional. Hochul is urging the Biden administration to reconsider its decision, which could lead to a court battle over the agency's use of such technology.
