Original: After Putting in a Massive Order for Electric Shock Gloves, ICE Is Now Buying Robot Dogs

The purchases point to a broader push to equip immigration enforcement agents with new surveillance and control technology. Critics are likely to raise concerns about the militarisation of immigration enforcement and the use of robotics in raids and detention operations.
