If the need arises, there are interpreters available.
BTW, not just in New Mexico, but in Arizona too.
"The National Center for Interpretation (NCI) trains individuals as qualified Navajo interpreters and tests them for certification to work in New Mexico and Arizona state courts and other venues to help ensure equal access to justice and fundamental medical and social services."
And in case people are still wondering why:
"The Court Interpreter’s Act of 1978 created a standard for legal proceedings in that any person appearing in federal court has the right to a qualified interpreter. Further, federally funded agencies, including those at state and local levels, must provide language access to clients or risk violation of the 1964 Civil Rights Act."

No spin.
The Navajo are members of their own sovereign nation, one whose land just happens to span parts of Arizona and New Mexico.
