EXCLUSIVE Twin daughters of top LA official arrested for alleged assault on police during ICE riots as the city devolves into anarchy
The twin daughters of a senior Los Angeles official were arrested in the ICE riots on Sunday night, where they allegedly assaulted a police officer with a deadly weapon. Lucia Aguilar Cole, 26, who serves as the Community Growth and Economic Innovation Deputy for the Los Angeles City Council, was taken into custody around 7pm along with her sister, Antonia, according to LA Sheriff's Department records. The women are the daughters of Rick Cole – the city's current Chief Deputy Controller and a former mayor of Pasadena. They were arrested during unrest that saw protesters hurling rocks and other objects from a bridge on to the 101 Freeway, where police vehicles were positioned below. But it remains unclear what the alleged deadly weapon was or why they were arrested. Speaking at an anti-ICE protest on Sunday, Cole said he was aware his daughters had been arrested. 'I've just seen pictures of my two daughters on a curb in downtown Los Angeles in handcuffs,' he told the crowd, according to Los Angeles magazine. 'So I'm going to be figuring out where they are so I can go bail them out.' Cole did not respond to a request for comment from Twins daughters of Los Angeles Chief Deputy Controller Rick Cole - Lucia Aguilar Cole, 26, (left) and Antonia (right) - were arrested in the ICE riots around 7pm Sunday for allegedly assaulting a police officer with a deadly weapon Lucia, who goes by 'Luz' and uses 'they/them' pronouns, is also a staffer for LA City Council member Ysabel Jurado, who caused a scandal in October 2024 when she was recorded during her campaign saying 'What's the rap verse? F**k the police, that's how I see them,' in response to a question about abolishing cops. On Monday, Jurado told the LA Times that Aguilar had been put on unpaid leave. 'The allegations are deeply concerning and I take them very seriously,' the councilwoman said. 'While I respect the individual's right to due process, I hold my team to the highest standards of conduct.' As of Monday, the two daughters of the top LA political family remained in the 77th Street jail after being booked and held on $50,000 bail. According to law firm Cron, Israels & Stark, conviction for their alleged offense can fetch a prison sentence of between three and five years. Their father Rick has spent four decades as a senior official and leader in LA County, serving as Pasadena Mayor, Council member and City Manager of the cities of Azusa, Ventura and Santa Monica. He currently serves as the Chief Deputy Controller for the LA and previously served as the city's Deputy Mayor for Budget and Innovation. The riots in the city were sparked by a slew of raids by federal immigration officials ordered by the Trump Administration. Some protestors have also set Waymo cars on fire in downtown LA as thousands gathered to protest immigration sweeps in the city Unrest has spanned the city's streets for three days and resulted in rioters clashing with law enforcement, taking over the 101 freeway and setting cars on fire, while police responded by firing tear gas and rubber bullets – with some catching reporters in the crossfire. California leaders have slammed Trump for what they see as deliberately whipping up the conflict with unnecessary action, prompting more civil unrest by commandeering the National Guard from state control and sending 2,000 troops into the city. California Governor Gavin Newsom vowed to sue the administration over the move which he called 'an illegal act, an immoral act, an unconstitutional act' in an interview with MSNBC. 'He's exacerbated the conditions. He's lit the proverbial match,' Newsom said. 'These anarchists that are in there to create real problems, and they're just playing right into Donald Trump's hand. And they need to be called out. They need to be arrested. 'It is wrong to destroy other people's property, and it is wrong to create the conditions that only exacerbate this. But Donald Trump, at the end of the day, is the sponsor of these conditions.' LA Council member Eunisses Hernandez was filmed telling a crowd of anti-ICE protestors that the federal immigration agency knows 'how quickly we mobilize, that's why they're changing tactics. 'Because community defense works and our resistance has slowed them down before… and if they're escalating their tactics then so are we. When they show up, we gotta show up even stronger.' Hernandez doubled down on her support of the anti-ICE protests in a TV interview with NBCLA. When asked by anchor Colleen Williams, 'Would you admonish [protestors] to stay within the confines of the law out there?' Hernandez replied, 'What I would say is that people who are out there protesting, be safe. Remember that we need all community members to be able to "throw down" in future emergencies.' Here's a DEMOCRAT LA City Council Member, Eunisses Hernandez, calling for an escalation of the attacks on ICE. If "Peacefully and Patriotically" was "inciting an insurrection" then what is this? — Shawn Farash (@Shawn_Farash) June 8, 2025 Luz Aguilar Cole says on their LinkedIn page that they are a 'Financial Activist', 'Environmentalist', and 'Affordable Housing Advocate'. Luz worked as a research analyst for Pacific Community Ventures (PCV) in Oakland, California from September 2023 to February this year and is a graduate of the University of California, Davis. Their bio on the site says they seek 'to weave together the intersections of social, economic, and climate justice to address systemic issues facing our local and global community.' Luz's boss, Councilwoman Jurado, is a noted critic of LA's police department. During the campaign for her council seat last year, Jurado was recorded being asked about abolishing police. 'What's the rap verse? F- the police, that's how I see 'em,' she responded. She later told ABC7 News: 'I quoted a lyric from a song that's been part of a larger conversation on systemic injustice and police accountability for decades. But it was just a lyric… My commitment to public safety remains as strong as ever.' After her election to LA council district 14, Jurado was caught in another controversy when she was photographed appearing to be asleep at her chamber seat during a closed February session.
