US priest’s home raided by police on St Patrick’s Day in Mexico

Fr Robert Coogan alleges officers tried to plant drugs during the raid An American priest and prison chaplain in northern Mexico says his home, which doubles as a halfway house, was raided in the early hours of St Patrick’s Day as police came to arrest one of the three men who live with him.
Fr Robert Coogan, a New York native, also alleges that the police tried to plant drugs during the raid, part of a pattern of harassment against the former prisoners whom he helps transition from spending time behind bars to leading productive lives.
