Lexington immigration attorney Heather Hadi joins Barrett Freeman on PropertyTales to talk about the electric shock gloves ICE is buying — and the Kentucky company that makes them.

ICE awarded a multi-million-dollar contract for thousands of G.L.O.V.E. devices (Generated Low Output Voltage Emitter) from Compliant Technologies. The gloves look like regular patrol gloves until an officer hits a switch. On skin contact they deliver an electric shock meant to force compliance during arrests, transports, and disturbances.

Heather and Barrett cover what the gloves actually do, how they differ from a Taser, why ICE says it needs them, and why the purchase has drawn so much pushback. Because the manufacturer is based in Kentucky, this one hits close to home.

This episode is just Barrett and Heather — no co-hosts.
