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.

PULSE POINTS:

❓What Happened: The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) identified a man who threw rocks into the windshields of federal officers’ cars during pro-illegal immigrant riots in Los Angeles County, California.

👥 Who’s Involved: Elpidio Reyna, a 40-year-old based in Compton; U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli; Attorney General Pam Bondi; FBI; National Guard.

📍 Where & When: Paramount, Los Angeles County, California; June 7-8.

💬 Key Quote: “Elpidio Reyna can run, but he can’t hide… a brazen attack caught on film,” said U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli.

⚠️ Impact: Reyna faces up to eight years in prison if convicted; FBI offers $50,000 reward for information leading to his capture; National Guard and U.S. Marines deployed to address ongoing unrest.

IN FULL:

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has identified Elpidio Reyna, a 40-year-old Compton resident, as the rioter seen on video throwing rocks into the windshields of federal officers’ cars during pro-illegal immigrant riots in Los Angeles, California, over the weekend.

According to U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli, Reyna was recorded hurling rocks at federal vehicles in Paramount, injuring one officer and damaging government property. Despite being identified, Reyna remains at large, with the FBI now offering a $50,000 reward for information leading to his arrest.

“Elpidio Reyna can run, but he can’t hide. He threw rocks at federal officers leaving a command post in Paramount on Saturday, a brazen attack caught on film and that could have resulted in deaths,” Essayli stated in a post on X. Reyna faces charges of assault on a federal officer, which carries a potential prison sentence of up to eight years if convicted.

Attorney General Pam Bondi confirmed that a search warrant was executed at Reyna’s residence and announced that he would soon be added to the FBI’s Most Wanted list. “He has been identified by the great police work by the FBI,” Bondi said, adding, “If you assault a police officer, if you rob a store, if you loot, if you spit on police officers, we’re coming after you.”

The incident is part of broader unrest that erupted following Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations in Los Angeles, which targeted illegal aliens convicted of serious offenses, including sex crimes, murder, and weapons charges. In response to escalating violence, President Donald J. Trump authorized the deployment of 2,000 National Guard troops and hundreds of U.S. Marines to Los Angeles.

On Truth Social, Trump warned against disrespect toward law enforcement, stating, “IF THEY SPIT, WE WILL HIT, and I promise you they will be hit harder than they have ever been hit before. Such disrespect will not be tolerated!”

Law enforcement has already made dozens of arrests in Los Angeles and San Francisco, with charges ranging from vandalism to assaulting police officers.

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.”

U.S. Army’s 250th Anniversary Parade.

The Trump administration is planning a massive military parade to celebrate the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary this weekend—and anti-American Democrats are doing everything in their power to disrupt it.

The details: The parade will take place on Saturday, June 14, and will feature:

  • 28 Abrams tanks
  • 28 Bradley Fighting Vehicles
  • F-22 jet flyovers
  • 4 Paladin Howitzers
  • WWII and Vietnam era planes
  • 100+ aircraft and vehicles
  • HIMAR rocket launchers

Logistics: 7,000 troops will march along Constitution Avenue beginning at 6:30 PM. President Trump and his guests will watch from the Ellipse.

More to celebrate: June 14 is also Flag Day and President Trump’s 79th birthday.

Price tag: The event has a $45 million budget, with $15 million of it earmarked for post-parade street repairs.

Counterprotests: A left-wing group called Refuse Fascism is planning protests across all 50 states, hoping to upstage the military parade. They’re calling their protests “No King’s Day.”

Big picture: The left has framed Trump’s push for a military parade as being akin to Putin in Russia or Kim Jong Un in North Korea. But the truth is, it was likely inspired by the French. In 2017, Trump attended France’s grand Bastille Day celebration and called it “one of the greatest parades I’ve ever seen” and “a tremendous thing for France and the spirit of France.”

Obama’s White House Doctor Criticizes Biden’s Physician for Skipping Cognitive Test.

PULSE POINTS:

❓What Happened: Former President Barack Obama’s White House physician, Jeffrey Kuhlman, suggested President Joe Biden’s doctor should have conducted a cognitive test to evaluate Biden’s fitness for office.

👥 Who’s Involved: Dr. Jeffrey Kuhlman, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, President Joe Biden, President Donald J. Trump, Special Counsel Robert Hur, and House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. James Comer.

📍 Where & When: Washington, D.C.; comments over this past weekend.

💬 Key Quote: “Sometimes those closest to the tree miss the forest. It shouldn’t be just health, it should be fitness. Fitness is: Do you have that robust mind, body, spirit that you can do this physically, mentally, emotionally demanding job?” said Dr. Jeffrey Kuhlman.

⚠️ Impact: House Republicans are investigating allegations that White House officials worked to cover up Joe Biden’s alleged cognitive decline, with subpoenas issued for the octogenarian Democrat’s doctor and senior aides.

IN FULL:

Former President Barack Obama‘s White House physician, Dr. Jeffrey Kuhlman, has raised concerns about the lack of cognitive testing for President Joe Biden during his time in office. Speaking to The Washington Post, Kuhlman suggested that Biden’s physician, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, should have performed a cognitive evaluation, particularly given Biden’s advanced age. O’Connor, who has served as Biden’s doctor since 2009, declared in a 2024 health report that the then-81-year-old president was “fit for duty,” but the report did not include neurocognitive testing.

“Sometimes those closest to the tree miss the forest,” Kuhlman said. “It shouldn’t be just health, it should be fitness. Fitness is: Do you have that robust mind, body, spirit that you can do this physically, mentally, emotionally demanding job?” Kuhlman, who left the White House Medical Unit in 2013, described O’Connor as a “good doctor” but noted the possibility of future investigations revealing more details.

“I didn’t see that he’s purposely hiding stuff, but I don’t know that,” the Obama White House doctor said, adding: “Maybe the investigation will show it.”

Dr. Kuhlman’s comments come as House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. James Comer (R-KY) has issued a subpoena for O’Connor to testify later this month. The inquiry focuses on allegations of a cover-up regarding Biden’s cognitive state and potential unauthorized use of executive powers. Comer’s letter to O’Connor also raised questions about whether financial ties to the Biden family influenced the physician’s assessments.

President Donald J. Trump has also weighed in, ordering Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate claims that Biden’s aides misused an autopen to conceal his cognitive decline. Trump described the allegations as “one of the most dangerous and concerning scandals in American history.”

Special Counsel Robert Hur’s February 2024 report highlighted instances of Biden’s memory lapses, including an inability to recall key dates and events, though Hur ultimately recommended against prosecution.

Concerns about Biden’s mental acuity have extended beyond Republican circles. A recent book by CNN’s Jake Tapper and Axios’ Alex Thompson detailed internal Democratic Party debates over Biden’s capacity to govern, with one excerpt claiming, “Five people were running the country, and Joe Biden was at best a senior member of the board.”

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!!”
