The Department of Homeland Security announced plans to spend up to $20 million by March 2027 on the devices, which are manufactured by Compliant Technologies. When activated, the gloves deliver a pain stimulus upon contact with a person's skin to de-escalate fights and gain compliance in detention facilities. Homan stated that the gloves are not ready for immediate rollout because federal agents still require training on how to use them. Civil rights advocates, including representatives from the ACLU, criticized the move, warning that the easily concealed devices could lead to abuse and public harm.
