"Kansas Police Conduct Controversial Raid on Marion County Record Newspaper, Seizing Records and Injuring Reporter"

Police in Kansas raided the office of the Marion County Record newspaper, seizing computers, cellphones, and reporting materials, as well as searching the publisher's home, following a dispute with a local businesswoman. The raid came after the newspaper published stories about the businesswoman, including revelations about her lack of a driver's license and conviction for drunken driving. The newspaper's owner and publisher called the raid "chilling" and unprecedented, expressing concerns about the impact on their ability to tackle issues and receive information. The search warrant appears to violate federal law protecting journalists from search and seizure, as it requires law enforcement to subpoena materials instead.
