A small town in Kansas has become a battleground over the First Amendment, after
the local police force and county sheriff’s deputies raided the office of The
Marion County Record.

Raids of news organizations are exceedingly rare in the United States, with its
long history of legal protections for journalists. At The Record, a family-owned
paper with a circulation of about 4,000, the police seized computers, servers
and cellphones of reporters and editors. They also searched the home of the
publication’s owner and semiretired editor as well as the home of a city
councilwoman.
