Study Finds 300 Active ISIS Supporters in the US:  A study released Tuesday reveals that approximately 300 American or U.S.-based Islamic State (ISIS) sympathizers have been identified as active online recruiters for the terror group.  Fox News reports that the study, titled "ISIS in America: From Retweets to Raqqa" and conducted by George Washington University's Program on Extremism, found that recruiters primarily use Twitter to convince others to travel to Iraq or Syria to join ISIS, saying that about 250 Americans had traveled or attempted to travel to the Middle East.  The study also concluded that, since March 2014, 71 people had been charged in the U.S. with ISIS-related activities, 56 of which occurred this year alone.  There are currently 900 active investigations against ISIS sympathizers in all 50 states.

SF 'Witch Killers' Considered for Parole:  Due to a recent federal ruling, California prison officials must consider parole for the murderous married couple known as the "San Francisco witch killers," who were each sentenced to 75 years to life for three murders they committed three decades ago.  Paul Elias of the AP reports that 73-year-old Suzan Carson has a parole hearing on Wednesday to see if is eligible for release, and her husband, Michael "Bear" Carson, canceled his June 30 parole hearing but will become eligible again in 2020.  The couple, who describe themselves as Muslim "warriors," were convicted of killing three people between 1981 and 1983 "during a drug-fueled quest to rid the world of witches."  Their chance at freedom angers the families of their victims, who describe the two as "unrepentant," having never expressed remorse or renounced their beliefs.  Parole consideration for the Carsons stemmed from a federal ruling to combat overcrowding by granting parole hearings to inmates older than 60 who have served more than 25 years of their sentence.

Obama Expands ICE Powers:  The Obama administration has created a new form allowing local authorities to hold illegal immigrants for deportation even absent of the top priorities the president laid out last year.  Stephen Dinan of the Washington Times reports that the detainer request form, called the I-247X, gives Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) the power to ask local police to hold illegal immigrants for pickup even if they don't have serious criminal records or terrorism ties, covering those caught trying to jump the border, anyone who arrived illegally after Jan. 1, 2014, those who have overstayed their visas, and those ignoring recent deportation court orders.  However, the new tool does not override sanctuary cities, though security analysts commend the move and ICE director Sarah Saldana says it "will help strengthen cooperation with local law enforcement agencies."
