Top LA Official’s Daughters Arrested in Riots, Allegedly Assaulted Police.

PULSE POINTS:

What Happened: The twin daughters of a top Los Angeles city official have been arrested for allegedly assaulting law enforcement during the violent pro-illegal immigration riots in the city.

👥 Who’s Involved: Lucia Aguilar Cole, Antonia Aguilar Cole, Rick Cole, Los Angeles rioters, the Los Angeles County Sheriff, and Los Angeles City Councilwoman Ysabel Jurado.

📍 Where & When: The two women were arrested late Sunday evening and are being held on $50,000 bail.

💬 Key Quote: “I’ve just seen pictures of my two daughters on a curb in downtown Los Angeles in handcuffs,” Rick Cole said. “So I’m going to be figuring out where they are so I can go bail them out.”

⚠️ Impact: The arrest of the two women is illustrative of how radical even well-connected far-left public officials have become, and that the riots may have the tacit approval of Democratic officials.

IN FULL:

The twin daughters of a top Los Angeles city official were taken into custody for allegedly assaulting a law enforcement officer with a deadly weapon during the violent pro-illegal immigrant riots in the city. Lucia Aguilar Cole, the Community Growth and Economic Innovation Deputy for the Los Angeles City Council, along with her twin sister, Antonia Aguilar Cole, both 26, were arrested Sunday night.

Their father is Rick Cole, who currently serves as the Deputy Los Angeles City Controller, is a former Deputy Mayor of Los Angeles, the former Mayor of Pasadena, and sits on the Pasadena City Council.

According to the Los Angeles County Sheriff, the two women were among the protestors throwing rocks from a bridge spanning the 101 Freeway, striking police and vehicles below. At the moment, it is unclear whether the two women are being charged in relation to the rocks hurled at police or for other actions.

“I’ve just seen pictures of my two daughters on a curb in downtown Los Angeles in handcuffs,” Rick Cole told a crowd of demonstrators in Los Angeles on Sunday, adding: “So I’m going to be figuring out where they are so I can go bail them out.”

On Monday, Lucia Aguilar Cole, who uses “they/them” pronouns, was placed on unpaid leave from her role as a staffer with L.A. City Council member Ysabel Jurado. “The allegations are deeply concerning and I take them very seriously,” Councilwoman Jurado said. She added: “While I respect the individual’s right to due process, I hold my team to the highest standards of conduct.”

Jurado herself has drawn controversy for her anti-police statements. During a 2024 campaign event, the far-left city councilwoman responded to a question about abolishing the police, stating: “What’s the rap verse? F**k the police, that’s how I see them.”

Both Lucia and Antonia Aguilar Cole, as of Monday, remained in custody and were being held on $50,000 bail.

Woman Filmed Distributing Face Shields, Tactical Gear to LA Rioters.

PULSE POINTS:

What Happened: A mystery woman was filmed distributing tactical gear to rioters in Los Angeles, California, during pro-illegal immigrant demonstrations which escalated into riots.

👥 Who’s Involved: The unidentified woman, masked individuals, rioters, law enforcement, President Donald J. Trump, California Governor Gavin Newsom (D).

📍 Where & When: Downtown Los Angeles, amidst four days of unrest in the city.

⚠️ Impact: The distribution of tactical gear to rioters suggests a level of organization in the pro-illegal immigrant riots in California, which have caused widespread destruction and led to disputes between the state and federal government.

IN FULL:

A mystery woman was captured on video handing out tactical gear, including gas masks and riot shields, to rioters in downtown Los Angeles, California, during pro-illegal immigrant demonstrations. The incident occurred near federal buildings as National Guard troops were stationed nearby.

“Bionic Shield” full-face protective gear could be seen being distributed from a pickup truck by the heavyset woman, who appeared to be accompanied by a group of masked agitators. It remains unclear if they are tied to any specific organization as of the time of publication.

Witnesses reported scenes of chaos, with rioters defacing property, burning rubber, and preparing for confrontations with police after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detained a number of illegal aliens, including a gang member convicted of a mass shooting at a high school graduation party. The riots saw vehicles torched, rocks thrown at law enforcement, and businesses looted.

President Donald J. Trump has deployed the National Guard and U.S. Marines to Los Angeles to protect federal property and personnel, marking a rare instance of federal troops being activated without a governor’s request. California Governor Gavin Newsom condemned the move, calling it an overreach of federal authority and filing a lawsuit against the administration.

Trump Admin: California Democrats Are Engaged in ‘Insurrection.’

PULSE POINTS:

❓ What Happened: White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller accused California Democrats of engaging in “insurrection” for pressuring President Donald J. Trump to pull U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from Los Angeles to quell pro-illegal immigrant riots.

👥 Who’s Involved: Stephen Miller, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, Governor Gavin Newsom, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and President Donald J. Trump.

📍 Where & When: Comments made on June 10, 2025, in response to events in Los Angeles, California.

💬 Key Quote: “This is the definition of insurrection. LA and CA leadership demand the right to illegally import unlimited foreigners into America, to control America’s entire immigration policy by fiat—and if they are not so permitted they will allow mobs to target ICE with impunity,” Miller said, responding to comments by Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass.

⚠️ Impact: Miller’s comments offer insight into the Trump administration’s evolving stance on the situation in California, with potential for President Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act.

IN FULL:

White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy and Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller has accused California Democrats of engaging in a de facto “insurrection” against the federal government, by pressuring President Donald J. Trump to withdraw U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from Los Angeles to stop violent riots.

Miller was responding to comments by Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, who insisted that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids—which have netted dangerous criminals including pedophiles and a murderer who shot up a high school graduation party—”need to stop.”

“[The raids] should not be happening in our city; it is not warranted, and… the only thing it does is contribute to chaos. This was chaos that was started at Washington, D.C.,” she said, insisting: “On Thursday, the city was peaceful, on Friday, it was not, because of the intervention of the federal government.”

Miller characterized Bass’s remarks as an “explicit” threat, saying she was “effectively saying the mob violence is caused by the mere presence of ICE in the city and the violence against ICE will not stop unless federal law enforcement is withdrawn from the city.”

“This is the definition of insurrection,” Miller said, explaining: “LA and CA leadership demand the right to illegally import unlimited foreigners into America, to control America’s entire immigration policy by fiat—and if they are not so permitted they will allow mobs to target ICE with impunity.”

“Los Angeles and California are demanding the nullification of the election results, of federal law, of national sovereignty, and of the bedrock constitutional command of one national government,” he added.

Governor Gavin Newsom has expressed similar sentiments to Bass, insisting California “didn’t have a problem until Trump got involved.”

Miller has also responded to the Governor, saying his state has become “a criminal sanctuary for millions of illegal alien invaders, cartel killers, foreign terrorists, transnational gangs and insurrectionist mobs.”

After Border Czar Tom Homan warned that anyone obstructing ICE in California, including state politicians, would face federal charges, Newsom dared the Trump official to arrest him. Asked about Newsom’s remarks, President Trump suggested he would arrest the Governor in Homan’s position, and that Newsom would enjoy “the publicity.”

WATCH: Delusional Dem Rep Insists ‘There Was No Violence’ in LA.

PULSE POINTS:

❓ What Happened: Representative Maxine Waters (D-CA) denied there has been any violence in Los Angeles, California, despite riots resulting in injuries and property damage during pro-illegal immigrant demonstrations.

👥 Who’s Involved: Rep. Maxine Waters, the National Guard, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and President Donald J. Trump.

📍 Where & When: Los Angeles, California, in June 2025.

💬 Key Quote: “There was no violence! I was on the street, I know,” Waters insisted.

⚠️ Impact: Waters’s denial further undercuts the Democrats’ credibility on law and order, with social media being flooded with ample evidence of significant violence and disorder.

IN FULL:

Representative Maxine Waters (D-CA) has insisted there has not, in fact, been any violence in Los Angeles, California, despite injuries to law enforcement officers and widespread property destruction across four days of pro-illegal immigrant riots and disorderly protests.

“Nobody was shot, nobody was killed. Get it in your head!” the 86-year-old Democrat declared during a press conference. “Don’t think that, somehow, because they called out the National Guard, there was violence. There was no violence! I was on the street, I know,” she insisted, adding, “So, first of all, get it straight, and don’t just rely on what you’ve been told on the few incidents that you saw.”

Video footage of incidents uploaded to social media include a large rock being thrown into the windshield of a moving police cruiser from a substantial height, and footage of an officer on foot being struck so hard in the head by a rock that his helmet was knocked off. Buildings have been extensively vandalized in several locations, and some business premises looted. A number of vehicles have also been torched, including Google’s self-driving Waymo taxis, with their damaged electric batteries presenting a toxic threat.

Waters has been present on the streets during the protests, at one point baiting and heckling National Guard troops deployed by President Donald J. Trump to protect U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) personnel from rioters.

“What are you all going to do? Are you going to shoot some kids?” she demands in a recording of the incident. “Are you going to shoot an elected official? If you shoot me, you better shoot straight.”

Democrat Senator Turns on Party for Excusing ‘Anarchy’ in LA.

PULSE POINTS:

What Happened: Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman criticized his Democratic Party over its response to riots in Los Angeles tied to pro-illegal immigrant protests.

👥 Who’s Involved: Sen. John Fetterman, President Donald J. Trump, California Governor Gavin Newsom (D), former Vice President Kamala Harris (D), Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass (D), and federal law enforcement officials.

📍 Where & When: Riots began Friday, June 2025, in Los Angeles, California, with a federal response ordered by President Trump.

💬 Key Quote: “My party loses the moral high ground when we refuse to condemn setting cars on fire, destroying buildings, and assaulting law enforcement,” Sen. Fetterman posted on social media.

⚠️ Impact: Riots have led to widespread property destruction, clashes with law enforcement, and tensions between state and federal authorities.

IN FULL:

Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania has publicly rebuked his own Democratic Party over its handling of violent riots in Los Angeles, California, which began as protests against immigration enforcement. The senator’s remarks, posted on social media, expressed disapproval of the party’s failure to denounce the destruction and assaults tied to the unrest.

“I unapologetically stand for free speech, peaceful demonstrations, and immigration—but this is not that. This is anarchy and true chaos,” Fetterman wrote. He added, “My party loses the moral high ground when we refuse to condemn setting cars on fire, destroying buildings, and assaulting law enforcement.”

The unrest, which started Friday, has seen rioters set vehicles ablaze, throw projectiles at law enforcement officers, vandalize property, and block traffic, all while waving foreign flags. Federal law enforcement and National Guard troops were deployed to Los Angeles following President Donald J. Trump’s orders, after the sanctuary state failed to support U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents facing violence.

“We made a great decision in sending the National Guard to deal with the violent, instigated riots in California. If we had not done so, Los Angeles would have been completely obliterated,” President Trump wote on his Truth Social platform. He criticized California Governor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass for their handling of the situation, accusing them of downplaying the violence.

Governor Newsom and Mayor Bass allege that the federal response has escalated tensions, suggesting that ICE provoked the riots in the first place. Senior Trump advisor Stephen Miller has hit back at this narrative, demanding, “What does Governor Newsom mean when he keeps saying the presence of ICE officers, and the troops necessary to protect their lives and duties, are ‘inciting’ riots?”

“He’s adopting the argument of the insurrectionists: enforcing federal immigration law in our city is not allowed and we will riot if you do,” Miller contended, adding: “Newsom isn’t trying to suppress the anti-American revolt, he’s encouraging it.”

Migrant Crime

Arrested Migrants Defended by LA Rioters Include Killers, Pedophiles.

PULSE POINTS:

What Happened: Many of the illegals being defended by rioters in Los Angeles are serious criminals, including murderers and child rapists.

👥 Who’s Involved: U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), illegal alien criminals, pro-illegal alien rioters.

📍 Where & When: The White House released information about the criminals on June 9.

💬 Key Quote: “Democrats like [Governor] Gavin Newsom and [Los Angeles Mayor] Karen Bass should be thanking President Trump for stepping up and leading where they refused—and for ridding their streets of criminal illegal immigrant killers, rapists, and gangbangers.” — White House statement.

⚠️ Impact: The information exposes Democrats, rioters, and others opposing ICE operations as favoring dangerous criminals over the safety of American citizens.

IN FULL:

Several of those migrants being defended by the Los Angeles rioters are serious criminals, including convicted murderers, rapists, and child molesters. The White House has released a statement outlining the criminal history of some of the migrants who were detained.

Mexican illegal Eswin Uriel Castro, for example, was convicted of both child molestation and being armed with a deadly weapon. He also has prior convictions for robbery and domestic violence, and was already deported before.

Cielo Vivar-Ubaldo, another Mexican, heads convictions for sex with a minor, drug-related convictions, and a hit and run. Like Castro, he was also previously deported from the United States.

Cuong Chanh Phan, a Vietnamese national, is a known gang member and has been convicted of second-degree murder.

The Trump Administration released the details of over a dozen criminals, saying they had all been taken off the streets by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other agencies within the last several days.

“Democrats like [Governpr] Gavin Newsom and [Los Angeles Mayor] Karen Bass should be thanking President Trump for stepping up and leading where they refused—and for ridding their streets of criminal illegal immigrant killers, rapists, and gangbangers,” the White House said in the statement.

The multi-day riots in Los Angeles are in defense of these dangerous criminals, ironically, including an illegal alien who took part in the unrest. Russell Gomez-Dzul, a Mexican national, was arrested for assaulting a federal official.

GOP Lawmakers Want to Raise Remittance Tax After Mexico Makes Threats.

PULSE POINTS:

What Happened: GOP lawmakers are advocating for a significant increase in a proposed tax on remittances sent by immigrants in the U.S. to their home countries, following critical remarks by Mexico’s president.

👥 Who’s Involved: Senator Eric Schmitt (R-MO), Reps. Chip Roy (R-TX) and Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA); Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum.

📍 Where & When: U.S. Senate, ongoing deliberations on the “One Big Beautiful Bill.” Sheinbaum’s remarks surfaced in a viral clip over the weekend.

💬 Key Quote: “The House’s Big Beautiful Bill addressed the urgent need for a remittance tax. But we can go further. I’m introducing legislation to quadruple the proposed remittance tax—from 3.5 percent to 15 percent,” said Sen. Eric Schmitt.

⚠️ Impact: The proposed tax could generate $26 billion over a decade, affecting remittance flows to Mexico, which received $64.7 billion in 2024.

IN FULL:

Republican lawmakers are pushing to dramatically increase a proposed tax on remittances sent by migrants in the U.S. to their home countries, following remarks by Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum opposing the measure. The proposal, part of President Donald J. Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill,” currently under consideration in the U.S. Senate, initially called for a 3.5 percent tax on remittances from noncitizens. The newest proposal would see remittances taxed at 15 percent.

Sheinbaum’s criticism of the tax, captured in a viral video over the weekend, saw her declare, “If necessary, we’ll mobilize. We don’t want taxes on remittances from our fellow countrymen. From the U.S. to Mexico.” While her use of the term “mobilize” remains unclear, it has prompted a strong reaction from U.S. lawmakers.

Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-MO) announced plans to introduce legislation to increase the tax rate to 15 percent, citing Sheinbaum’s comments as a catalyst. “The House’s Big Beautiful Bill addressed the urgent need for a remittance tax. But we can go further. I’m introducing legislation to quadruple the proposed remittance tax—from 3.5 percent to 15 percent,” Schmitt stated on X (formerly Twitter). He added, “America is not the world’s piggy bank. And we don’t take kindly to threats.”

The tax is projected to generate approximately $26 billion over the next ten years, according to the Joint Committee on Taxation. Remittances, a key revenue source for many developing nations, are particularly significant for Mexico, which received $64.7 billion in such transfers in 2024, making it the second-largest recipient globally, behind India.

Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) also supported raising the tax, responding to Sheinbaum’s comments by writing, “New reason to amend the Senate bill to tax remittances at a lot higher rate…” Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) echoed the sentiment, saying, “Raise the remittances!!”

Hundreds of Marines Mobilized to Restore Order in LA: Report.

PULSE POINTS:

What Happened: A battalion of U.S. Marines is reportedly being mobilized to relieve National Guard soldiers tasked with protecting federal property amid violent pro-illegal immigrant riots in Los Angeles, California.

👥 Who’s Involved: The U.S. Marine Corps, President Donald J. Trump, Governor Gavin Newsom (D), Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass (D), the California National Guard, the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), and violent pro-illegal immigrant rioters.

📍 Where & When: The riots began in Los Angeles over the weekend, while reports of a possible mobilization of the Marine battalion first surfaced late Monday afternoon on June 9, 2025.

⚠️ Impact: It is believed the Marines will relieve some of the National Guard soldiers who have previously been deployed to protect federal property, though, unless President Trump invokes the Insurrection Act, neither the Guard troops nor the Marines are legally allowed to arrest and detain any rioters.

IN FULL:

A battalion of Marines, estimated to number around 700, is allegedly being mobilized to join 2,000 National Guard soldiers in Los Angeles, California, to secure and protect federal property amid ongoing pro-illegal immigration riots in the city. The detachment, believed to originate from the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center in California, comes after a weekend of violent riots broke out across Los Angeles, with demonstrators setting fire to cars, blocking highways, and attempting to storm a federal illegal immigration detention facility.

Currently, 2,000 members of the National Guard have been called up in California, though only about 300 of them have been deployed to the streets. Notably, this move came after the Democratic Mayor of Los Angeles, Karen Bass, resisted dispatching the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) to restore order until the situation had already spiraled out of control. So far, over 150 people have been arrested by the LAPD, and a number of businesses and other properties have been damaged.

The National Guard soldiers and Marines are being tasked with property protection only. Under law, they are not allowed to engage in policing action on American soil unless President Donald J. Trump invokes the Insurrection Act. Already, Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA) is suing the Trump administration, seeking a federal court order blocking the federalization and deployment of the National Guard soldiers.

Notably, the National Pulse reported earlier on Monday that the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights (CHIRLA), one of the lead organizers of the demonstrations, received nearly $34 million in grants from California and has strong ties to the Democrats.

Violent anti-ICE and pro-illegal immigrant demonstrations have broken out beyond Los Angeles, with 60 individuals being arrested in San Francisco.

‘I Would Do It’ — Trump Open to Border Czar Homan Arresting Newsom.

PULSE POINTS:

What Happened: President Donald J. Trump commented on the escalating feud between Border Czar Tom Homan and California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) over U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations and pro-illegal immigrant riots in Los Angeles, suggesting he would arrest Newsom in Homan’s position.

👥 Who’s Involved: President Donald J. Trump, Border Czar Tom Homan, California Governor Gavin Newsom.

📍 Where & When: The exchange occurred over the weekend, with Trump speaking Monday on the White House lawn.

💬 Key Quote: “I would do it if I was Tom, I think it’s great. Gavin likes the publicity, but I think it would be a great thing,” President Trump told the media.

⚠️ Impact: Despite goading Homan to arrest him, Newsom is not complaining that Trump’s comments are “an unmistakable step toward authoritarianism” and pleading with right-wing media personalities to defend him.

IN FULL:

President Donald J. Trump addressed the ongoing clash between his administration’s Border Czar Tom Homan and California Governor Gavin Newsom (D), after Homan vowed to arrest anyone obstructing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations, including state officials, and Newsom responded by daring Homan to arrest him. The dispute comes amid pro-illegal immigrant riots in Los Angeles, with Newsom moving to sue to block the Trump administration from deploying the National Guard to restore order.

Governor Newsom, a vocal critic of the Trump administration’s immigration policies, told MSNBC, “The hell with this guy [Homan]. Come after me. Arrest me. Let’s just get it over with, tough guy.”

He added, “I care about my community. The hell are they doing? These guys need to grow up. They need to stop, and we need to push back.”

On Monday, President Trump was asked on the White House lawn whether Homan should take Newsom up on his challenge. Trump responded, “I would do it if I was Tom, I think it’s great. Gavin likes the publicity, but I think it would be a great thing.”

The president also criticized Newsom’s governance, calling him “grossly incompetent” while acknowledging that he personally likes the California governor. “He’s done a terrible job, look—I like Gavin Newsom. He’s a nice guy, but he’s grossly incompetent. Everybody knows. All you have to do is look at the little railroad he’s building. It’s about a hundred times over budget.”

“We’re putting a flagpole over there,” he continued, referring to a new installation at the White House. “Under budget. I always do under budget.”

Despite previously goading Homan to arrest him, Newsom was extremely agitated by Trump’s remarks, writing on social media, “This is a day I hoped I would never see in America. I don’t care if you’re a Democrat or a Republican, this is a line we cannot cross as a nation—this is an unmistakable step toward authoritarianism.”

He later pleaded with Fox News media personality Sean Hannity to come to his aid.

WATCH: Democrat Lawmaker Confesses That She’s an Illegal Immigrant.

PULSE POINTS:

What Happened: Minnesota State Representative Kaohly Vang Her (D) revealed that her father committed immigration fraud, meaning she and her parents are illegal immigrants.

👥 Who’s Involved: Rep. Kaohly Vang Her and other Minnesota lawmakers.

📍 Where & When: The remarks were made on Monday, June 9, 2025.

💬 Key Quote: “I am illegal in this country. My parents are illegal here in this country,” Rep. Her said.

⚠️ Impact: While it appears that Representative Her is technically a naturalized U.S. citizen, the admission that her family committed immigration fraud in the course of attaining citizenship could result in federal action to denaturalize the Minnesota Democrat, resulting in the lawmaker being disqualified from office.

IN FULL:

A Democrat lawmaker in the Minnesota state House of Representatives admitted during a floor debate on Monday that she is an illegal immigrant. State Representative Kaohly Vang Her (D), during a debate on expanding illegal immigrant eligibility for MinnesotaCare, revealed that her father had committed immigration fraud, listing his grandmother as his mother, as the latter was deceased.

“Because his mother had died, my father—as the one processing the paperwork—put my grandmother down as his mother,” Rep. Her stated on the Minnesota House floor, apparently alluding to fraud committed on immigration paperwork. She continued: “And so I am illegal in this country. My parents are illegal here in this country.”

Minnesota law stipulates that any person who holds office must be eligible to vote in state elections. Notably, only United States citizens can cast a ballot for state positions in Minnesota. This would suggest that Kaohly Vang Her, who came to the U.S. as a Hmong refugee, is ineligible to serve in the state legislature.

“My family was just smarter in how we illegally came here,” the Minnesota Democrat lawmaker said, adding: “My family broke the law to come here. I never knew that. I just learned that now.”

While Rep. Her appears to technically be a naturalized United States citizen, that status could be called into question as, by her own admission, her father made false statements when attaining legal residency in the country. Such acts can result in the federal government taking action to denaturalize an individual or individuals determined to have made false statements or concealed material facts on their immigration application.
