Hey from CNN, I'm Ifeoma Dike with the five things you need to know for Tuesday, March 24th.

'We're learning more about Sunday's deadly collision between an Air Canada plane and a fire truck at New York's LaGuardia Airport. The collision killed the plane's pilot and co-pilot and injured dozens of people. Here's CNN's Pete Muntean.

There were only two controllers in the control tower here at LaGuardia at the time of the crash. But we need to clarify something now. It's not that they were doing four positions. They were doing something that was standard procedure, according to NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy. One controller and one supervisor. That supervisor was also doing the role of what's called clearance delivery, meaning issuing route clearances, two flights that were still on the ground. That other controller is known as the local controller, responsible for airplanes still in the air taking off and landing and separation on the runway. But what's not clear to investigators right now is which of those two people were performing the duties of the ground controller, meaning responsible for all the movements of airplanes. And vehicles that were still on the ground.

Another major finding from the National Transportation Safety Board is that the airport's ground radar system didn't warn air traffic controllers about the fire truck on the runway because the firetruck was missing a transponder, which is technology that helps air traffic controllers identify and track vehicles on the airfield.

More news coming up, including the latest escalation in a clash between Minnesota leaders and the Trump administration.

I think any deal they make, I'm pretty much not happy with it.

'President Donald Trump declined to immediately endorse the Republicans' proposal to reopen the Department of Homeland Security. Last night, Senate Republicans pitched their plan to end the partial shutdown of Trump. It would fund DHS without any portion of the budget going toward immigration enforcement. If it sounds close to what Democrats have been demanding, that's because it is. But now Democratic leaders are arguing for more ICE reforms. Trump had initially urged Republicans to hold out on making a deal unless Democrats back the strict voter ID bill known as the Save America Act, which is a non-starter for Democrats. One thing that is certain is a new DHS secretary. Attorney General Pam Bondi today sworn Oklahoma Republican Markwayne Mullin to replace Kristi Noem. He was confirmed by the Senate yesterday evening in a 54-45 vote.

Today, Minnesota officials sued the Trump administration for access to evidence related to three shootings by federal officers, including the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. The lawsuit claims the federal government didn't keep its promise to cooperate with independent state investigations after the surge of federal law enforcement in Minneapolis. Now, state officials are seeking a court order demanding that the Trump Administration comply. A local attorney told reporters they're prepared to fight for transparency and accountability. CNN has sent emails to DHS and the Justice Department for comments. The two deaths came as the Trump administration sent thousands of officers to the Minneapolis area to enforce Trump's deportation campaign.

President Trump says Vice President J.D. Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and others are leading negotiations with Iran to end the war. He claimed victory in the war again while leaving the door open to more strikes against Iran's energy sites if talks fall through.

You know, I don't like to say this. We've won this. This war is has been won.

Meanwhile, prices at the pump rose to an average of $3.98 a gallon, according to AAA.

Coming up, an American held in the Middle East is coming home.

After more than a year in captivity in Afghanistan, two U.S. Officials told CNN an American is now free. CNN's Jennifer Hansler has more.

'Hi, Ifeoma. Well, Dennis Coyle is on his way back to the United States after spending more than a year in Taliban detention. The 64-year-old academic had lived and worked in Afghanistan for some two decades before he was detained last January, and according to his family, he was never formally charged with a crime. His release comes two weeks after the United State declared Afghanistan to be a state sponsor of wrongful detention, which can carry serious repercussions. Now, U.S. officials say that pressure led to the Taliban releasing Coyle today and that that designation will remain in place as Afghanistan continues to hold at least two other Americans in custody.

That does it for us. Our next episode drops tomorrow morning.
