Controversy has roiled the University of North Carolina campus after administrators gave a Confederate monument that once stood on its flagship campus to the Sons of Confederate Veterans.

The Confederate statue known as "Silent Sam" had stood on the main campus quad in Chapel Hill from 1913 until it was torn down by protesters in August 2018.

Federal immigration authorities have requested millions of North Carolina voting records, potentially creating chaos just two months ahead of the midterm elections.
