The Holguin family's troubles with the El Paso Police Department began in 2022, when Adzari Holguin, then a high school senior, was asked by a relative to film the police while they responded to a call about a domestic dispute. After police became aggressive once they noticed Adzari was recording, her father, Eddie Holguin, stepped in to escort his daughter home. That's when police staged an illegal raid on the Holguin residence and arrested Eddie and Adzari. After the raid, the Holguins filed a lawsuit to demand justice. Now, they say the El Paso police are deliberately targeting their family. Police Accountability Report examines the evidence and what this case tells us about cops in America today, who, in many places, not only operate with virtual legal impunity, but also conduct themselves more like a mafia than like law enforcement.

Disgusting corruption. Fabricated charges and targeting a family like that is immoral and unethical. Thank God the daughter was filming those corrupt police.

Law enforcement is the biggest threat to this country.

We need Anti-Retribution laws that prevent cops from Harassing people who rightfully sue them for their misconduct. Seriously cops who don't understand the law, have no business enforcing it. 🙅🏿‍♂️🙅🏽‍♀️

I've been a victim of police targeting, and it's terrifying y'all. TERRIFYING. What should horrify everyone is how easily it could be YOU. Not to mention how often it occurs. Internet, protect this family at all costs.

If they had probable cause. Why didn’t they get a search warrant and searched for the weapon?

I have been saying this since 1985. They constantly tell us that "Ignorance of the law is no excuse" yet we hire idiots that are ignorant of the law to enforce the law.
