"Marion Police Accused of Illegally Retaining Altered Evidence from Kansas Newspaper"

The Marion County Record, a Kansas newspaper, alleges that police unlawfully kept a copy of evidence seized during a raid on their office and the publisher's home. The attorney for the newspaper plans to ask a judge to hold Sheriff Jeff Soyez in contempt of court if the issue is not resolved. The discrepancy between the evidence list provided to the newspaper and the one filed with the district court raises concerns, as an extra item, a USB drive with cloning software, appears on the court's list. The attorney argues that this gives the sheriff illegal access to the newspaper's data, which is protected by law.

Kansas Judge's Order to Halt Gender Changes on Driver's Licenses Challenged by Kelly Administration

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Kansas has filed a motion to intervene in a lawsuit initiated by Attorney General Kris Kobach, which seeks to prevent the Kansas Department of Revenue from processing requests to change gender markers on driver's licenses. The ACLU argues that Kobach's actions are unconstitutional and discriminatory against transgender individuals. The intervention aims to support the Department of Revenue's motion to reverse the temporary restraining order that blocked gender-marker adjustments on licenses. The ACLU's response could potentially lead to a constitutional challenge of the Kansas statute.
