The twin children of a senior Los Angeles official were apprehended in the ICE riots on Sunday night, where they supposedly assaulted a law enforcement officer with a lethal weapon.
Lucia Aguilar Cole, 26, who serves as the Community Growth and Economic Innovation Deputy for the Los Angeles City Board, was nabbed around 7pm along with her sibling, Antonia, according to LA Sheriff's Department records.
The women are the children of Rick Cole - the city's present Chief Deputy Controller and a previous mayor of Pasadena. They were arrested during unrest that saw protesters tossing rocks and other items from a bridge on to the 101 Freeway, where police car were positioned below.
But it remains uncertain what the alleged deadly weapon was or why they were apprehended.

'I have actually just seen photos of my 2 daughters on a curb in downtown Los Angeles in handcuffs,' he told the crowd, according to Los Angeles publication. 'So I'm going to be determining where they are so I can go bail them out.'
Cole did not react to a request for comment from DailyMail.com.
