President Joe Biden has detoured to Charlotte, North Carolina, to meet with the families of law enforcement officers shot to death on the job. The visit Thursday comes just a week after he sat down with the grieving relatives of two cops killed in upstate New York. His Charlotte visit is taking place with little fanfare behind closed doors, because the White House aims to respect the privacy of grieving families and avoid the appearance of using grief for political purposes.
A North Carolina man is charged with mailing an antisemitic threat to a rabbi in Georgia. A federal indictment unsealed Thursday says that Macon Rabbi Elizabeth Bahar received a threatening postcard in February after she testified before Georgia lawmakers to support defining antisemitism in state law.

Tiger Woods is headed to the U.S. Open after receiving the first of what likely will be many special exemptions.

Arnold Palmer received five. Woods is a three-time U.S. Open champion as part of his 15 majors. The U.S. Open is June 13-16 at Pinehurst No. 2.
A Kentucky judge won't remove an injunction that has blocked executions in the state for more than a decade. Franklin Circuit Judge Phillip Shepherd said he would hold off on deciding on the ban, because there have been changes to lethal injection regulations. Kentucky has carried out just three executions since 1976, and none since 2008. Attorney General Russell Coleman has pushed for Shepherd to lift the 2010 injunction. Coleman says the victims' families “have suffered in limbo for long enough.” Coleman says the state's changes to lethal injection procedures makes the ban moot. Coleman says he will appeal Shepherd’s ruling.
A House bill ordering North Carolina sheriffs and jailers to comply with federal immigration requests to hold an inmate suspected of being in the country illegally passed the state Senate. The Thursday vote was along party lines. The immigration bill now returns to the state House to approve changes to the bill that includes a mechanism allowing anyone to file a complaint against a public safety officer who they believe isn't following the law. Supporters say the bill will keep communities safer while critics say it instills fear in the immigrant community.
