California Bans Federal Law Enforcement Officers from Wearing Electric Shock Gloves
California Governor Gavin Newsom signed a bill prohibiting federal law enforcement officers in the state from wearing gloves that deliver electric shocks, following an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) purchase of 6,000 pairs. The ban, effective until 2030, aims to assess safety while reflecting opposition to President Donald Trump’s migration policies. This legislative move aligns with similar actions by other Democratic states restricting cooperation with ICE. Meanwhile, reports indicate Trump asked Chinese leader Xi Jinping about purchasing US weapons, a claim denied by the White House and State Department as illegal under US law. Additionally, major broadcasters are resuming coverage of Trump despite his recent exclusion of CNN from Air Force One travel.
