“I’ve just seen pictures of my two daughters on a curb in downtown Los Angeles in handcuffs,” Cole told the crowd at an anti-ICE rally, according to Daily Mail.

“So I’m going to be figuring out where they are so I can go bail them out,” he added.

Daily Mail reports:

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.

Altogether, over 100 arrests have been made during the riots.
