A group of universities \u2014 including Brown University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology \u2014 and education groups filed a lawsuit on Tuesday seeking to halt the Energy Department\u2019s cuts to federal research grants.
Last week, the Energy Department announced a new policy to reduce the funding of \u201cindirect costs\u201d of\u00a0research grants to 15%<\/a>.
However, the plaintiffs argue such cuts will \u201cdevastate scientific research at America\u2019s universities\u201d and \u201cundermine\u201d the nation\u2019s status as a global leader in innovation.\u00a0

Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., said he has not yet heard back from El Salvador President Nayib Bukele after he requested to meet with him<\/a> about Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the Maryland man who the Justice Department says it mistakenly deported.
\u201cIf I don\u2019t hear from him, and Abrego Garcia is not quickly returned, I do intend to go to El Salvador this week to show solidarity with his family,\u201d Van Hollen told CNN, repeating a plan he announced yesterday.
\u201cI also hope to visit this notorious prison to see Abrego Garcia to let him know his family and friends are very worried about him, as am I,\u201d the senator said.
Abrego Garcia has never been charged criminally in the United States or El Salvador, according to court filings. The Supreme Court ruled last week<\/a> that the Trump administration must \u201cfacilitate\u201d Abrego Garcia\u2019s release.
Trump hosted Bukele at the White House yesterday as the Central American country becomes critical to the administration\u2019s mass deportation operations. At a meeting with Trump, Bukele said he would not return<\/a> Abrego Garcia, calling the question \u201cpreposterous.\u201d
Van Hollen emphasized the importance of the case for due process rights.
\u201cIf the president gets to shred the Constitution and ignore the Supreme Court in this case, it is a very short path to the president ignoring court orders in other cases,\u201d he said.

Rep. Mikie Sherrill, D-N.J., is tapping into her party’s desire to fight Trump and billionaire Elon Musk in her first TV ads of the New Jersey gubernatorial primary, while also touting her military service.
“I know the world feels like it is on fire right now,” Sherrill says in one of the spots<\/a>, first reported<\/a> by the New Jersey Globe. “But I was trained in the Navy, that in a crisis, you run toward the fight.”
Sherrill, a former Navy helicopter pilot, goes on to say she will focus on bringing down costs and protecting Social Security and “fundamental freedoms.” She also says she’s running for governor “to stand up to Trump and Musk with all I\u2019ve got.”
In a second ad<\/a>, supporters say Sherrill will “fight the Trump-Musk madness that\u2019s wrecking our economy, even threatening Social Security,” as footage of Musk in the Oval Office plays on screen.
The ads are part of a new buy Sherrill’s campaign has placed for this week, dropping $162,000 on the airwaves, according to the ad-tracking firm AdImpact.
She faces a crowded Democratic primary to replace term-limited Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy, with top candidates including fellow Rep. Josh Gottheimer, Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, Jersey City Mayor Steve Fulop, former state Senate President Steve Sweeney, and former Montclair Mayor Sean Spiller, president of the state’s teacher’s union.

Like millions of American citizens and immigrants, Ivan filed his taxes last year. But Ivan, 54, a Massachusetts resident who hails from Colombia, is worried\u00a0a recent agreement between the IRS and Immigration and Customs Enforcement<\/a>\u00a0means he is in danger of being deported for doing what he believed was the right thing.
And if taxpayers like Ivan decide not to file taxes because the IRS has said it will\u00a0share certain tax information\u00a0<\/a>filed by undocumented immigrants with ICE, it could cumulatively eliminate billions in tax revenue and create \u201ca massive problem\u201d for citizens and immigrants alike, experts said.

Trump said during a “Fox Noticias” interview that he’s “looking into” deporting “homegrown criminals” to El Salvador, a move that legal experts panned as illegal.<\/a>
“I call them homegrown criminals \u2014 the homegrowns,” Trump said in an excerpt of the interview. “The ones that grew up and something went wrong and they hit people over the head with a baseball bat. We have \u2014 and push people into subways just before the train gets there, like you see happening sometimes. We are looking into it, and we want to do it. I would love to do that.”
Additional portions of the interview are set to air later today. The interview was conducted by Rachel Campos-Duffy, who is married to Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy.
Trump also raised the idea of deporting U.S. citizens yesterday when El Salvador’s president, Nayib Bukele, visited the White House.
NBC News has reached out to the White House for comment on the president’s deportations plans.

In an interview with the British news outlet UnHerd, Vance sounded optimistic about the prospects of a trade deal with the United Kingdom.
“I think there\u2019s a good chance that, yes, we\u2019ll come to a great agreement that\u2019s in the best interest of both countries,” Vance said, according to UnHerd’s report.<\/a>
The vice president said the U.S. is “working very hard” with the British government on a trade deal, and he emphasized that Trump loves the United Kingdom and has business relationships in the country.
“But I think it\u2019s much deeper than that. There\u2019s a real cultural affinity. And of course, fundamentally America is an Anglo country,” Vance said, according to the outlet.
The vice president also said that the U.S. has “a much more reciprocal relationship than we have with, say, Germany.”
“While we love the Germans, they are heavily dependent on exporting to the United States but are pretty tough on a lot of American businesses that would like to export into Germany,” Vance added.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. \u2014 At least twice over the past year, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis\u2019 top government staffers have helped him directly raise campaign contributions, a practice members of his own political party want to end.
A proposal championed by Republicans in the state House would bar state employees \u2014 those who work for the governor or otherwise \u2014 from conducting most traditional campaign-type activities during working hours, including soliciting campaign contributions.

Democratic lawmakers led by Sen. Chris Van Hollen say they are willing to go to El Salvador to seek the release of a man who the Justice Department says it mistakenly deported there \u2014 a plan that has gained steam after the country\u2019s president said during a visit to the White House that he would not send the man back to the U.S.
Van Hollen, D-Md., sent a letter yesterday to El Salvador\u2019s ambassador in the U.S. requesting a meeting with the country\u2019s president, Nayib Bukele<\/a>, who said in a meeting with Trump later in the day that he \u201cof course\u201d would not send Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland resident, back to the U.S.

Trump administration officials are ramping up pressure on immigrants to leave the United States of their own volition, or \u201cself deport,\u201d as the number of people the government is deporting from the interior of the country remains stagnant, far below the vision for mass deportations promised by Trump and his top officials.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement deported just more than 12,300 immigrants from March 1 to March 28, slightly under the 12,700 people it deported during the same period last year, according to ICE data obtained by NBC News.\u00a0ICE\u00a0deported around 11,000 people in February<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0

If an immigrant the government claims is a gang member can be deported to El Salvador without any due process rights, then why not a U.S. citizen?
That was the nightmarish scenario immigration advocates and constitutional law experts were considering yesterday after Trump again pushed a provocative plan to deport U.S. citizens who have been convicted of unspecified crimes.
