Cleveland Akron, OH, August 13, 2026 —
Compliant Technologies LLC, a small veteran-owned business, is under consideration for a potential contract valued between $10 million and $20 million to provide shock gloves to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. The Department of Homeland Security has publicly indicated an intent to purchase these devices, according to available records.
However, as of the latest information, a finalized contract has not been recorded. The specifics surrounding the potential terms, duration, and official approval status of this proposed agreement remain undisclosed.
The company asserts that its product, described as “Generated Low Output Voltage Emitter” gloves, has a history of safe usage, with claims of deployment by over 400 agencies. Despite these claims, the proposed use of the technology has drawn scrutiny and raised questions regarding its ethical implications and legal standing.
Officials, including the New York Attorney General’s office, have voiced concerns about the shock gloves. The nature of these concerns and any specific legal or ethical objections have not been fully detailed in public statements.
The potential contract highlights a growing discussion around the use of less-lethal technologies by law enforcement and immigration agencies, and the ethical frameworks governing their deployment.
