CA 'Devil Cult' Killer Eligible for Parole:  A convicted California killer who took part in two brutal devil cult murders decades ago has been found eligible for parole less than a year after Gov. Jerry Brown overturned the parole board's decision and ordered him to remain behind bars.  Sean Emery of the OC Register reports that Arthur Craig "Moose" Hulse is currently serving a life sentence for the 1970 murders of a gas station attendant and a schoolteacher who had four children.  At the time of the brutal slayings, Hulse was a 16-year-old "prospect" hoping to join the Sons of Satan, a transient, devil-worshiping, drug-using motorcycle gang.  He has been denied parole over a dozen times.  Gov. Brown has until Aug. 14 to reverse the parole board's decision.

Smuggler Caught 23 Times Sentenced to Prison:  A career smuggler who was caught by Border Patrol 23 times in less than 17 years was sentenced Friday to five years in prison.  Teri Figueroa of the LA Times reports that 35-year-old Efrain Delgado Rosales was caught in November guiding four illegal immigrants through the Otay Mountains.  Since 1999, Delgado Rosales has been apprehended dozens of times by border agents smuggling at least two and up to 46 illegal immigrants, in all but one instance. 

Sky-High Approval Rate for Dreamer Applications:  President Obama's argument that he is not rewriting laws and only offering guidance on how to prioritize enforcement of deportation amnesty is significantly undermined by the 93% approval rating of Dreamer applications, say critics.  Stephen Dinan of the Washington Times reports that Obama's program for Dreamers, also known as the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), "was considered a test run for the broader amnesty," or the Deferred Action for Parental Accountability (DAPA), announced in late 2014.  The two programs grant a proactive two-year stay of deportation, issue work permits and Social Security numbers, and allow illegal immigrants to become eligible for taxpayer benefits.  By the end of 2015, almost 715,000 DACA applications had been approved, while less than 55,000 were rejected.  Reports found that fraud within the program could have been as high as 50%.  The Supreme Court will hear oral argument regarding DAPA beginning April 18 and could issue a ruling by the end of June.
