ICE plans to equip its officers with gloves capable of delivering electric shocks. All three outlets report this is a planned initiative and describe the gloves' shock-delivering function.
The left outlet emphasizes the pain the gloves cause and their purpose of gaining compliance from combative individuals. The center outlet highlights the financial cost (up to $20 million) and civil liberties concerns. The right outlet frames the shocks in a milder way ('bee sting') and stresses the training and recertification requirements officers must meet.
ICE officers may be given gloves that deliver electric shocks intended to make combative individuals comply.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement plans to spend up to $20 million to purchase thousands of gloves that can deliver painful electric shocks intended to gain compliance from individuals.
