President Donald Trump touted his "big win" in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals over his federalization of the National Guard, but he neglected to mention one key provision that warned him to tread carefully, according to former U.S. attorney Joyce Vance.

Miller reposted a video of Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass calling for ICE's deportation raids to stop "now."
