The New Mexico Supreme Court is cautioning the state’s trial courts that citizens who don’t speak English have the right to serve on juries.

No they do not. If I am a defendant I have the right to a jury of my peers. My peers speak and understand ENGLISH.

I don't think there is such a right. A duty maybe, if you are eligible.

Then stay out of New Mexico. Spanish is and has been an official language of that state since New Mexico was admitted as a state in 1912.
