Cole did not respond to a request for comment from DailyMail.com.

California leaders have actually knocked Trump for what they see as deliberately whipping up the conflict with unneeded action, triggering more civil discontent by commandeering the National Guard from state control and sending 2,000 soldiers into the city.
California Governor Gavin Newsom pledged to take legal action against the administration over the relocation which he called 'an illegal act, an immoral act, an unconstitutional act' in an interview with MSNBC.
'He's worsened the conditions. He's lit the proverbial match,' Newsom said.
'These anarchists that are in there to produce real issues, and they're simply playing right into Donald Trump's hand. And they require to be called out. They need to be arrested.
'It is incorrect to destroy other people's residential or commercial property, and it is wrong to produce the conditions that only intensify this. But Donald Trump, at the end of the day, is the sponsor of these conditions.'
LA Council member Eunisses Hernandez was filmed telling a crowd of anti-ICE protestors that the federal immigration company understands 'how quickly we set in motion, that's why they're changing tactics.
'Because neighborhood defense works and our resistance has actually slowed them down before ... and if they're intensifying their strategies then so are we. When they reveal up, we got ta reveal up even more powerful.'
Hernandez doubled down on her assistance of the anti-ICE demonstrations in a television interview with NBCLA.
When asked by anchor Colleen Williams, 'Would you advise [protestors] to remain within the boundaries of the law out there?'
Hernandez replied, 'What I would say is that people who are out there protesting, be safe. Keep in mind that we require all community members to be able to "toss down" in future emergency situations.'

California Governor Gavin Newsom has actually been a huge critic of President Trump's decision to pirate the National Guard from state control and send out in 2,000 troops into the city, saying he is whipping up the dispute with unnecessary action
Luz Aguilar Cole says on their LinkedIn page that they are a 'Financial Activist', 'Environmentalist', and 'Affordable Housing Advocate'.
Luz worked as a research expert for Pacific Community Ventures (PCV) in Oakland, California from September 2023 to February this year and is a graduate of the University of California, Davis.
Their bio on the site says they seek 'to weave together the intersections of social, economic, and climate justice to attend to systemic problems facing our regional and international neighborhood.'
Luz's boss, Councilwoman Jurado, is a kept in mind critic of LA's police department.
During the project for her council seat last year, Jurado was taped being asked about abolishing cops.
'What's the rap verse? F- the authorities, that's how I see 'em,' she responded.
She later on informed ABC7 News: 'I priced quote a lyric from a song that's become part of a larger discussion on systemic injustice and cops accountability for years. But it was just a lyric ... My dedication to public safety stays as strong as ever.'
After her election to LA council district 14, Jurado was captured in another debate when she was photographed seeming asleep at her chamber seat throughout a closed February session.
Jurado told ABC7: 'It looks like I read, and if indeed I did doze off, I believe this won't be the first or last of the human moments that I have as a council member,'
