Government Agrees to Settlement for Raiding Reporter’s Home, Seizing Confidential Files

An investigative reporter whose private files were illegally seized during a raid on her home will receive $50,000 as part of a settlement with the Department of Homeland Security.

How one reporter turned a government raid on her home into a win for press freedom.

Audrey Hudson, an award-winning journalist most recently at the Washington Times, told The Daily Signal she was awoken by her barking dog around 4:30 a.m. on Aug. 6, 2013, to discover armed government agents had descended on her property under the cover of darkness. The agents had a search warrant for her husband’s firearms. As they scoured the home, Hudson was read her Miranda rights.

While inside Hudson’s house, a U.S. Coast Guard agent confiscated documents that contained “confidential notes, draft articles, and other newsgathering materials” that Hudson never intended for anyone else to see. The documents included the identities of whistleblowers at the Department of Homeland Security. The Coast Guard is part of Homeland Security.

At the time, Hudson was investigating and reporting on Homeland Security, specifically its Federal Air Marshal Service and the Transportation Security Administration.

I guess this case calls for a much safer protection for our local investigators. We all know that their profession is highly at risk of suffering from various threats as they usually work with very confidential papers and cases. We will never know what bad things could ever happen to them until these things happen. As such, as early as possible, we should learn to provide proper protection for them. They are worthy to be protected because if there is no one to expose truth, then who shall be?
