A post on the 'Formation' singer's website entitled "Equality NC Works To Prove 'Y'all Means All'" praises those trying to repeal the ruling - officially called HB2.

The law bans trans people from using bathrooms that align with their gender identity, and was signed in by the state's Governor Pat McCrory in March.

The expedition led by Duke marine scientist Cindy Van Dover found the previously unknown wreck in mile-deep waters on July 12 using an underwater robot and a manned submarine.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said in a news release that no more captive-bred wolves will be used to bolster the wild population of between 75 and 100 of the carnivores present in several counties in the eastern part of the state. It said it will continue to manage the wild population.

The service said the reintroductions will be halted at least until it completes a further review of the program begun in 1987 to restore the wolves to the wild. It expects to finish its review by the end of the year.

A statement from police said 24-year-old Brandon Joyner turned himself in around midday Saturday.
