Occurrences

Additionally, the lawmakers requested information regarding training and protocols for G.L.O.V.E. use, detailed documents regarding testing of the device, a comprehensive inventory of all “less-lethal” weapons being used by ICE and Customs and Border Protection personnel, and detailed information on internal investigations into the misuse of “less-lethal” weapons.

Pallone joined lawmakers requesting DHS documents and information about electric shock gloves and other less-lethal weapons used by ICE and CBP.

The Ramirez office says lawmakers requested DHS information on G.L.O.V.E. training and protocol, device testing documents, a comprehensive inventory of less-lethal weapons used by ICE and CBP, and internal investigations over misuse of less-lethal weapons. The signer list includes Frank Pallone (NJ-06), and DHS's response deadline is September 18, 2026.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Pallone took concrete same-term oversight action by signing a House letter seeking the exact DHS training, protocol, testing, inventory, and investigation information described in the claim. Because the requested response is due after the as-of date, the oversight request is initiated but not yet fully resolved.

DHS's acquisition forecast describes an ICE requirement to purchase CTG-5 G.L.O.V.E. devices, a Conductive Distraction and De-escalation Device, for issuance to Homeland Security Investigations and Enforcement and Removal Operations officers and agents, with an estimated value of $10 million to $20 million and contract completion projected for March 31, 2027.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): The DHS record confirms the underlying ICE procurement targeted by the oversight letter and supports why the requested training, protocol, testing, and accountability information remains relevant. It does not show DHS has produced the requested information by September 3, 2026.

Public state: unverified As of unknown · legacy_unverified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): partial. same_term A for effort

Pallone materially supported the promised oversight by signing a same-term House letter demanding DHS provide the specified ICE/CBP less-lethal weapons information on training, protocols, testing, inventories, and misuse investigations. However, the evidence shows only that the request was made and that DHS's response deadline is September 18, 2026; it does not show DHS actually provided the information or that the oversight outcome was completed. This merits partial credit rather than full delivery.
