Question: Mexico Joins Suit Against Arizona's Immigration Law, Citing 'Grave Concerns'
Mexico on Tuesday asked a federal court in Arizona to declare the state's new immigration law unconstitutional, arguing that the country's own interests and its citizens' rights are at stake.

Lawyers for Mexico on Tuesday submitted a legal brief in support of one of five lawsuits challenging the law. The law will take effect July 29 unless implementation is blocked by a court.

The law generally requires police investigating another incident or crime to ask people about their immigration status if there's a "reasonable suspicion" they're in the country illegally. It also makes being in Arizona illegally a misdemeanor, and it prohibits seeking day-labor work along the state's streets.

Until recently, Mexican law made illegal immigration a criminal offense -- anyone arrested for the violation could be fined, imprisoned for up to two years and deported. Mexican lawmakers changed that in 2008 to make illegal immigration a civil violation like it is in the United States, but their law still reads an awful lot like Arizona's.

Arizona's policy, which President Felipe Calderon derided during a recent U.S. trip as "discriminatory," states police can't randomly stop people and demand papers, and the law prohibits racial profiling.

Mexican law, however, requires law enforcement officials "to demand that foreigners prove their legal presence in the country before attending to any issues."

Amnesty International recently issued a report claiming illegal immigrants in Mexico -- typically from Central America -- face abuse, rape and kidnappings, and that Mexican police do little to stop it. When illegal immigration was a criminal offense in Mexico, officials were known to seek bribes from suspects to keep them out of jail.

But Mexico said it has a legitimate interest in defending its citizens' rights and that Arizona's law would lead to racial profiling, hinder trade and tourism, and strain the countries' work on combating drug trafficking and related violence.

Citing "grave concerns," Mexico said its interest in having predictable, consistent relations with the United States shouldn't be frustrated by one state.

"Mexican citizens will be afraid to visit Arizona for work or pleasure out of concern that they will be subject to unlawful police scrutiny and detention," the brief said.

It will be up to a U.S. District Court judge to decide whether to accept the brief along with similar ones submitted by various U.S. organizations.

Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer, who signed the law on April 23 and changes to it on April 30, has lawyers defending it in court.

In a statement issued late Tuesday, Brewer said she was "very disappointed" to learn of Mexico's filing and reiterated that "Arizona's immigration enforcement laws are both reasonable and constitutional."

"I believe that Arizona will ultimately prevail and that our laws will be found constitutional," Brewer added.

Brewer and other supporters of the bill say the law is intended to pressure illegal immigrants to leave the United States. They contend it is a needed response to federal inaction over what they say is a porous border and social problems caused by illegal immigration. They also argue that it has protections against racial profiling.

Mexican officials previously had voiced opposition to the Arizona law, with Calderon saying June 8 that the law "opens a Pandora's box of the worst abuses in the history of humanity" by promoting racial profiling and potentially leading to an authoritarian society

U.S. officials have said the Obama administration has serious concerns about the law and may challenge it in court. Secretary of State Hilary Clinton recently went further by saying a lawsuit is planned.

Q: Newlywed Boston Bombing Survivor Struggles to Find Closure

It's been one year since bombs exploded near the finish line of the Boston Marathon, and survivors are still coping with the aftershock.

"The nightmares alone are really difficult," said Rebekah Gregory-DiMartino, a Boston Marathon bombing survivor. "I wake in extreme panic... I'm sweating, I'm screaming."

She added, "I think we have all this mentality that we have to remain Boston Strong, and most times we feel pretty Boston Strong. But there are days when I don't feel strong at all, and I'm scared to death."

Rebekah was recently married to Pete DiMartino, who was with her when the bombs exploded on April 15 last year, killing three people and injuring 264 others, most of whom were bystanders. She has been through 16 major surgeries and is expecting to amputate her leg within the next few months.

Mashable visited the couple in their home in Katy, Texas to learn how their lives were affected by the Boston bombings. Watch their full story in the documentary above.

"I feel sorry for the bomber... He made a very serious mistake that day," said Rebekah's mother, Tina Gregory.

"One day, I was searching for something online and this thing popped up, that he talked to his mother. What he said to her was that he was fine, and that he was eating chicken and rice," Gregory said. "I just wanted to go through that computer and just choke him and say, 'Chicken and rice, really? Bread and water, that's what you need.'"

The Handmaid's Tale debuts as ballet in Winnipeg

The Handmaid's Tale, one of Margaret Atwood's most famous novels, emerges in a brand new form tonight in Winnipeg with the debut of a dance production by the Royal Winnipeg Ballet.

Adapting Atwood's classic novel was a longtime dream of Royal Winnipeg Ballet artistic director André Lewis and American choreographer Lila York: the pair first began discussing the project about a decade ago.

"It's a world premiere. That means [it's] never been done, so there's incredible tension, incredible uplift at the same time backstage because we're putting it all together," Lewis said Tuesday.

"Curtain time is a tough deadline and you got to be ready by then, so everything is happening and it's exciting. That's what you live for as an artistic director, is to see the moment where it comes on stage."

On Wednesday night, the work — featuring the music of James MacMillan — will open the RWB's 2013-14 season. Atwood is slated to attend the opening.

Published in 1985 and winner of the Governor General's Literary Award, as well as other literary honours, The Handmaid's Tale has previously been adapted for film and as an opera.

Atwood's dystopian tale chronicles a future in which a powerful totalitarian regime has taken over and brutally reigns according to militaristic, selectively religious and ultra-conservative beliefs.

The story follows Offred, a member of a concubine-like class of women who live solely as reproductive vessels for the society's leaders.

The RWB production stars principal dancer Amanda Green as Offred and soloist Alexander Gamayunov as the Commander, the man with whom she is paired.

"The language of ballet is a physical language. I mean, it can capture emotion and translate them or transport them to the audience in ways that no other art form can do…. It says it differently, and it can say it extremely powerfully," Lewis said.

"When you see it done physically with dancers, the incredible athleticism and artistry of dancers, it's very poignant. So certainly what I have seen of the run … we did this last week in our studio, it's very strong."

The Handmaid's Tale has its world premiere tonight in Winnipeg and will continue with evening performances through Saturday and a matinee for students on Sunday.
