“Many years ago, when I was a federal prosecutor, I understood that one of the worst things that can happen to a person is to come to the attention of a federal prosecutor,” writes Edward Mechmann, Director of Public Policy for the Archdiocese of New York.

“Mark Houck, a pro-life leader and founder of the Catholic men’s ministry The King’s Men, is now finding that out the hard way,” Mechmann said of Houck’s arrest. “And his case is raising disturbing questions of prosecutorial overreaching and the excessive use of force by the police.”
