Shock gloves purchased by ICE cause ‘intense pain’ and fear, Army study found
‘Everyone should be alarmed that ICE is preparing to deploy a tool designed to inflict, at best, intense pain, without showing that it is safe for the people who will be subjected to it’
What the coverage shows
Both outlets focus on the same basic claim that ICE’s shock gloves were found to cause intense pain in an Army study. The Independent frames the story more as a warning, emphasizing that “everyone should be alarmed” and that the device is “designed to inflict” pain, while The Guardian US adds the signed $16.7 million deal and says the study also found “excessive” fear in military subjects.
