The females are the children of Rick Cole - the city's existing Chief Deputy Controller and a previous mayor of Pasadena. They were
detained throughout unrest that saw
protesters hurling rocks and other things from a bridge on to the 101 Freeway, where police vehicles were positioned listed below.
But it stays uncertain what the supposed deadly weapon was or why they were arrested.
Speaking at an anti-ICE protest on Sunday, Cole said he understood his children had been apprehended.
'I've simply seen images of my 2 children on a curb in downtown Los Angeles in handcuffs,' he told the crowd, according to Los Angeles publication. 'So I'm going to be figuring out where they are so I can go bail them out.'
Cole did not react to a demand for remark from DailyMail.com.
