How do home raids on journalists in the U.S. compare internationally?

Question

Accepted Answer

Press freedom advocates like PEN America note that physically raiding journalists' homes is "more commonly associated with authoritarian police states than democratic societies that recognize journalism's essential role." Countries like Turkey, Russia, and China routinely raid journalists, while established democracies typically use subpoenas with judicial oversight. The U.S.'s 57th-place press freedom ranking puts it behind most Western democracies, where such raids on journalists are rare.
