Cops Raid Marion County Record Office - Kansas

The first edition of the Marion County Record since its newsroom in central Kansas was raided by police in August 2023. Police in Kansas raided a local newspaper and its publisher’s home on Friday, seizing computers and other records — an action that sparked outrage from First Amendment advocates and that may have contributed to the death of the paper’s 98-year-old co-owner on Saturday.
