Fairfax County Plea Agreement Controversy
Where Things Stand
Fairfax County prosecutors reduced prison sentences from 40 years to five years for two undocumented immigrants who admitted to a fatal stabbing.

The Department of Homeland Security is now publicly challenging the decision as the suspects serve their shortened sentences.
