What this bill does
H.R. 10226 is a bill titled "To prohibit the use of shock gloves by Federal law enforcement officers to enforce the immigration laws, and for other purposes." Based on its title, the bill would bar federal law enforcement personnel from using devices described as shock gloves when carrying out immigration enforcement duties. The full text of the bill has not yet been published, so the specific details of how this prohibition would be defined, implemented, or enforced are not available.
Because the text is not yet public, it is not possible to say precisely which federal agencies or officers would be covered, what penalties or oversight mechanisms might apply, or what other provisions might be included under the phrase "and for other purposes." Based on the title alone, the bill appears intended to affect federal immigration enforcement personnel and, by extension, individuals who come into contact with them during enforcement actions.
The bill was introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives on September 2, 2026, by Rep. Madeleine Dean (D-PA), and its only recorded action so far is its introduction. As with most bills, it would need to be considered by the relevant House committee, potentially amended, and voted on by the House before moving to the Senate; at this stage, no further action has occurred. Readers should watch for the release of the full bill text for details.
