DENVER – Colorado artists want to makeover the rustic sheep wagons used by immigrant workers across the West, suggesting the portable homes be spruced up to look like futuristic space vehicles with gardens and solar panels.

Immigrants from Peru, Chile, Mexico and Nepal who come to the U.S. on temporary work permits sometimes live in worn-out one-room trailers in desolate landscapes, including in Wyoming, California, and Utah. The working conditions caught the attention of Colorado lawmakers this year, but no legislation materialized.

Immigrant advocates argue that the workers’ living conditions and salaries are deplorable, while sheep ranchers maintain that their workers were treated and paid fairly.

Artists with the Yuma-based nonprofit M12 say the debate doesn’t have to be contentious. They created three proposals to revamp the sheep wagon — known to the workers as “campitos” — and will show the designs on the walls of a trailer turned into a gallery, along with an old sheep wagon for comparison.

“There’s been a lot of attacks on ranchers. Our perspective is not that. Our perspective is a creative one that’s looking at the structure,” said Richard Saxton, one of the members of M12.

PHOENIX – Police enforcing Arizona‘s toughest-in-the-nation immigration law are allowed to consider if a person speaks poor English, looks nervous or is traveling in an overcrowded vehicle.

They can even take into account whether someone is wearing several layers of clothing in a hot climate, or hanging out in an area where illegal immigrants are known to look for work.

But top police officials issued a stern warning to officers Thursday, telling them in a training video not to consider race or ethnicity and emphasizing that “the entire country is watching.”

The officials cautioned that opponents of the law may secretly videotape police making traffic stops in an effort to prove that they are racially profiling Hispanics.

“Without a doubt, we’re going to be accused of racial profiling no matter what we do on this,” Tucson Police Chief Roberto Villasenor tells officers on the video, which was posted online. The recording demonstrates how officers should determine when they can ask someone for proof they are in the country legally.

PORTLAND, Ore. – Police explained Thursday why they reopened a sexual assault investigation into Al Gore, saying an extra review was needed because detectives looking into the matter last year failed to notify high-ranking officials of their decision to drop the case.

A massage therapist to the stars has accused the former vice president of repeatedly groping and kissing her during a late-night, alcohol-fueled attack in a luxury hotel suite in October 2006. Gore adamantly denies the allegations.

Detectives investigated the claims in 2006 and 2009 but decided not to pursue the case amid a lack of cooperation and erratic behavior by the accuser. The story re-emerged last week after she told her story to the National Enquirer, and police this week said they would reopen the case.

Portland Police Chief Michael Reese said Thursday that “we have determined there were procedural issues with the 2009 investigation that merit reopening the case.” Officers took the accuser’s statement but didn’t proceed further and didn’t clear that decision with higher-ups. In addition, prosecutors were not made aware of the 2009 investigation until recently.

Police would not say whether they would interrogate Gore or examine a pair of black pants the accuser wore on the night in question that she said became stained during the massage.

After U.S. authorities announced on Monday that they had unmasked an intricate network of alleged Russian spies, most of whom were operating under false identities, Moscow conspicuously distanced itself from the suspects. The accused – with vanilla names like “Richard Murphy” and “Cynthia Mills” – “were not Russian diplomats or even Russian citizens,” pro-Kremlin lawmaker Nikolai Kovalyov told the Interfax news agency on Tuesday. According to news agency RIA-Novosti, Russian Senator Alexander Torshin said the suspects were U.S. citizens, ergo the case should not affect bilateral relations. But just hours after the officials’ comments were published on Tuesday, Moscow took an unusual step: it claimed the accused sleeper agents as Russian citizens.

In a curt statement released on Tuesday, the Russian Foreign Ministry admitted that the 11 suspected spies were in fact “Russian citizens who ended up on U.S. territory at different times.” The suspects, the ministry said, “did not commit any acts aimed against the interests of the United States. We assume that they will be treated normally in their detention facilities, and that U.S. authorities will guarantee them access to Russian consular officials and lawyers.” The statement gave no further details about the suspects, but it was enough to blow any cover the suspects had hoped to maintain. The family of one of the accused, Spanish-language journalist Vicky Pelaez, has insisted in media interviews that Pelaez’s only connection to Russia is her love of Tchaikovsky. But when asked by TIME whether all the alleged operatives were Russian citizens, a duty officer at the ministry’s press office replied, “All of them.” (See pictures of notorious Russian spies throughout history.)

The admission has little precedent in the history of Russian spy games, say former Soviet intelligence agents and security experts. U.S. authorities allege that several of the suspects were intelligence agents known as “illegals” who were operating without diplomatic cover under assumed identities. “In Soviet times, the government would never recognize an ‘illegal’ as a Soviet citizen,” writer and retired Soviet foreign intelligence officer Mikhail Lyubimov tells TIME. “We live in different times now.” (Was the alleged Russian spy operation worth the trouble?)

Oleg Gordievsky, the former deputy head of the KGB in London who defected to Britain in 1985, believes the multiyear FBI investigation that led to Monday’s arrests likely yielded enough evidence of the suspects’ guilt as to force Moscow to claim the accused agents. “It would be silly to deny it,” Gordievsky tells TIME in a phone interview from London.

The alleged Russian operatives have not been accused of espionage. Instead they are facing charges of conspiring to act as unregistered agents for a foreign government, a crime punishable by up to five years in prison, according to an FBI affidavit. Nine of the suspects face charges of conspiracy to commit money laundering, punishable by a maximum of 20 years in prison. The FBI alleges that Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service, the SVR, tasked the agents with infiltrating U.S. policymaking circles – though there is little indication they gleaned sensitive information. By claiming the suspects as Russians, Gordievsky says, Moscow is trying to downplay the significance of the purported spy network. “Russia is trying to show that their activities were very modest and didn’t damage the interests of the United States,” he says.(See how a secret spy pact helped win the Cold War.)
