According to law enforcement records reviewed by the Daily Mail, both women were taken into custody around 7:00 p.m. Pacific Time during a protest outside a hotel.

The protest, which escalated into a riot, involved demonstrators reportedly throwing dangerous objects, including rocks, at police officers. Authorities say both Aguilar sisters are facing charges of assaulting a police officer with a deadly weapon.

However, details regarding the specific weapon allegedly used have not been made public.

Lucia Aguilar, who uses they/them pronouns, is a staff member for Los Angeles City Councilmember Ysabel Jurado. In a statement released Monday, Jurado confirmed that Aguilar had been placed on unpaid leave pending the outcome of the legal process.

“The allegations are deeply concerning and I take them very seriously,” Jurado said. “While I respect the individual’s right to due process, I hold my team to the highest standards of conduct.”

During the protest, Rick Cole addressed the crowd and acknowledged the arrest of his daughters. “I’ve just seen pictures of my two daughters on a curb in downtown Los Angeles in handcuffs. So I’m going to be figuring out where they are so I can go bail them out,” Cole said.

Cole also linked the demonstration to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activity, stating, “This (ICE raid) is personal for me and for my family.”

He added, “It’s also personal for the Mayor (Victor Gordo). When he was growing up, he had a coffee can on the kitchen table with money—in case his dad did not come home from work.”

Cole continued, “So, this is personal for Pasadena, because these are our neighbors. This is our family. These are the workers. These are Pasadenans. And we’re going to protect them.”

As of Monday, both sisters remained in custody at the 77th Street jail in Los Angeles, each held on $50,000 bail. They could face up to five years in prison if convicted of the charges related to the alleged assault on law enforcement.

Authorities have not confirmed when the Aguilar sisters are expected to appear in court.
