Luz Aguilar, a staff member for L.A. City Councilmember Ysabel Jurado, has been suspended after her arrest for allegedly assaulting a police officer at an anti-ICE protest. Jurado expressed her concern over the allegations, emphasizing her high standards for conduct among her team. Aguilar, along with her sister, was arrested and held on bail. Their father, Rick Cole, a city councilmember and aide to the city controller, shared his personal distress over his daughters' legal troubles during a rally, underscoring the emotional impact of the situation.
"The allegations are deeply concerning and I take them very seriously," said Jurado, who represents downtown and neighborhoods on L.A.'s Eastside, in a statement. "While I respect the individual's right to due process, I hold my team to the highest standards of conduct."
"I've just seen pictures of my two daughters on a curb in downtown Los Angeles in handcuffs [with] the LAPD," he said at the rally. "So I'm going to be figuring out where they are so I can go bail them out."
