A veteran Washington D.C. investigative journalist says the Department of Homeland Security confiscated a stack of her confidential files during a raid of her home in August â leading her to fear that a number of her sources inside the federal government have now been exposed.
In an interview with The Daily Caller, journalist Audrey Hudson revealed that the Department of Homeland Security and Maryland State Police were involved in a predawn raid of her Shady Side, Md. home on Aug. 6. Hudson is a former Washington Times reporter and current freelance reporter.
A search warrant obtained by The DC indicates that the August raid allowed law enforcement to search for firearms inside her home.
The document notes that her husband, Paul Flanagan, was found guilty in 1986 to resisting arrest in Prince Georgeâs County. The warrant called for police to search the residence they share and seize all weapons and ammunition because he is prohibited under the law from possessing firearms.
But without Hudsonâs knowledge, the agents also confiscated a batch of documents that contained information about sources inside the Department of Homeland Security and the Transportation Security Administration, she said.
Outraged over the seizure, Hudson is now speaking out. She said no subpoena for the notes was presented during the raid and argues the confiscation was outside of the search warrantâs parameter...

A woman in Texas was recently forced to strip down and was thrown in jail by police, all over an unpaid traffic ticket. Weâre not talking about a DUI or anything of that nature. This womanâs âcrimeâ was that she rolled through a stop sign.
from CBS DFW:
A North Texas woman was handcuffed, stripped down and booked into jail â all because of an overdue traffic ticket.
It was just a ticket. Sarah Boaz was cited in August after an officer said she ran a stop sign.
Boaz lost the ticket, but said she knows it was wrong not to have paid it right away. Despite those missteps, she also says she never expected a late fee or penalty to land her in jail.
It happens in every city, every day, at just about every intersection. Drivers roll past stop signs, and through stoplights. But getting caught, and getting a ticket, is nothing compared to what Boaz got.
âI guess it was just frustrating to me, that a bill that I pay a month late, I end up in jail for,â she said.
Boazâ expected trip to work Wednesday morning never happened. Because of her unpaid ticket, the Richland Hills City Marshal was waiting at her house with a warrant for her arrest. âIâm like, nobody puts out a bench warrant after 60 days. Why would you do that? You wouldnât do that.â
Even when Boaz arrived at the jail, in handcuffs, she still didnât think it was real. Then a female officer started giving her instructions. She remembered the officer saying, ââIâm going to need you to undress. Iâm going to need you to stand against the wall. Please donât step in front of this white box, or Iâll take thatâ⦠aggressive toward me. Obviously I am going to jail.â...
