加州议员史无前例攻击 ICE,推动禁用新装备
California lawmakers are making a furious push to stop ICE from using a high-tech device that federal officials say could give agents another option for subduing combative people without reaching for a firearm.
加州议员正猛烈推动阻止 ICE 使用一种高科技设备——联邦官员称这能为探员提供另一种制服对抗者的选择、而不必拔枪。
Assembly Bill 2760 would ban “wearable electroshock devices” from being used by law enforcement anywhere in California, explicitly including federal agencies.
第 2760 号议会法案将禁止加州境内任何执法部门——明确包括联邦机构——使用「穿戴式电击装置」。
It would also prevent state and local law enforcement agencies from using state funds to buy the technology and force them to rewrite their use-of-force policies to prohibit it.
它还将阻止州和地方执法部门用州资金购买该技术,并强制他们改写武力使用政策以禁止它。
The extraordinary move comes as the Department of Homeland Security moves toward spending up to $20 million to equip ICE agents with thousands of the devices.
这一非常规举动正值国土安全部准备投入高达 2000 万美元、为 ICE 探员配备数千个该设备之际。
ICE and federal officials support the technology.

California lawmakers and civil rights groups oppose it.

Senior federal officials argue the gloves can help agents deal with combative individuals without resorting to lethal force, giving officers another option in dangerous encounters.
联邦高级官员主张:这种手套能帮探员应对对抗性人员而不诉诸致命武力,在危险接触中给警官另一个选项。
The gloves are already being used by some correctional facilities and select local police departments.

The Nelson County Jail in Kentucky is among the detention facilities that have outfitted guards with the devices.
肯塔基州 Nelson County Jail 是配备该设备的拘留设施之一。
If the federal purchase goes through, thousands of ICE field agents and deportation officers nationwide are expected to be equipped with the gloves by March 2027.
如果联邦采购通过,预计到 2027 年 3 月,全国数千名 ICE 外勤探员和驱逐官员将配备这种手套。
