🇺🇸 It's also primary day in several states, so we're taking a close look at big races and at Latino candidates in today's newsletter. 

This newsletter, edited by Astrid Galván and Laurin-Whitney Gottbrath, is 1,704 words, a 6.5-minute read.

Democratic Sens. Alex Padilla (D-Calif.) and Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) want Congress to give the Department of Justice about $9 million to help its new environmental justice division. 

The big picture: The DOJ announced last week it would create the Office of Environmental Justice and launch an enforcement strategy to protect communities of color against environmental crimes.

Details: Padilla and Durbin are spearheading an effort to earmark $1.4 million for the Office for Environmental Justice and allocate an additional $6.5 million for DOJ’s Environment and Natural Resources Division.

The two senators wrote a letter Wednesday to a subcommittee signed by other senators seeking the funds for the new initiatives. 

"Environmental hazards like air, water, and land pollution disproportionately affect communities that have been historically marginalized, such as Tribal communities, low-income populations, and communities of color," the senators wrote.

Between the lines: Study after study shows communities of color are exposed to more air and water pollution, lead poisoning, and toxic waste than more affluent, white neighborhoods. 

A landmark study published last year in Science Advances found that Black, Latino, and Asian Americans face higher levels of hazardous particulate exposure than white Americans, regardless of income.

This is due to their proximity to industry and construction sites and the associated emissions from cars and diesel trucks, researchers found. Overall, this pollution causes up to 200,000 excess deaths annually in the U.S., researchers found — disproportionately people of color.

Flashback: The DOJ in November launched an environmental justice investigation into whether Alabama’s state and local health departments discriminated against Black residents.

The investigation is examining whether the departments' policies have caused Black residents in Lowndes, Alabama, to "have diminished access to adequate sanitation systems."

It marked the DOJ's first Title VI environmental justice investigation for one of the department's funding recipients.

Last April, Padilla called on Attorney General Merrick Garland to improve enforcement of environmental laws in Central California and asked the DOJ to explain non-prosecution agreements that spare some polluters of criminal liability.

The big picture: The DOJ announced last week it would create the Office of Environmental Justice and launch an enforcement strategy to protect communities of color against environmental crimes.

President Biden has made the COVID-19 crisis and a post-Trump return to national unity and traditional democratic ideals his top priorities. From vaccinations to stimulus to schools, Biden is seeking bipartisan compromise while showing a willingness to use executive authority and bare Democratic majorities in the U.S. House and Senate to implement his policies. Republican leaders are navigating deep party divisions over if and how to move beyond former President Trump.

Ominous forecasts about the impact of climate change serve as the backdrop for the world — led by U.S. lawmakers and companies — to debate big action on the problem, which could upend energy systems and our way of life.

Colorado Hispanics who aren't registered to vote say they may not register before November, citing discontent with both parties and the economy, according to a study from Emerson College's nationwide initiative on Latinos.

Why it matters: The new survey and focus groups show the challenges that Democrats and Republicans face long-term with one of the nation's fastest-growing voting blocs.

Details: The Emerson College project found that non-registered Latino voters in Colorado were split over whether their vote would make a difference, with 41% revealing they believe it won't change anything. 

Young people 18-24 made up the highest share of those non-registered citizens who felt that way, indicating they could be the most challenging bloc for either party to persuade this fall.

Non-registered U.S. citizens were similarly split over whether they could be motivated to register and vote (40% said "if they were more informed") — but 39% said nothing could persuade them.

The big picture: These Hispanic residents in Colorado shared that while they don't have strong positive or negative feelings about either party, they feel more aligned with the Democrats on abortion, immigration, and the economy.

But they expressed frustration with the Democratic Party's unfulfilled promises and the high costs of some of their proposed social programs. 

What they're saying: “I mean, I don't want to [register to vote],” a 22-year-old non-registered citizen said in one of Emerson College's focus groups. “It's not going to really change a whole lot, more of the change comes from the local level if you really want to change something.”

“For the Democrats, the first thing that came to my mind is that prices go up and the economy sinks down. A lot of promises to reform things, but nothing really happens,” a 62-year-old woman in a voter focus group said.

Don't forget: Some Latino political consultants say Democrats are losing Latino voters by primarily focusing on immigration reform instead of the economy, even though immigration consistently ranks 5th or 6th among Latino concerns.

They also say Republicans alienate Latino voters with offensive messages, but Democrats fail to engage with Hispanic voters and reach out to them late in election cycles.

Be smart: Hispanics are now 18.7% — 62.1 million people — of the total U.S. population.

There were around 30.6 million eligible Latino voters in 2020, according to a City University of New York study.

Methodology: The survey of U.S. Hispanic citizens in Colorado was conducted April 19-25, 2022. This poll was based on a sample consisting of 310 non-registered citizens in Colorado, with a Credibility Interval (CI) similar to a poll’s margin of error of +/- 5.5 percentage points.

Three in-person focus groups were conducted of participants of Hispanic ethnicity in Denver on May 2 and May 3, 2022.

The availability of Spanish-language mental health services is shrinking even as the U.S. Latino population continues to grow, according to a recent study. 

 Why it matters:  Spanish is the second-most spoken language in the U.S., and the number of Latinos who speak Spanish at home has grown from 24.6 million in 2000 to 39.1 million in 2019, according to the Pew Research Center. 

By the numbers: Between 2014 and 2019, the proportion of facilities offering mental health treatment in Spanish declined by nearly 18%, according to a study published last week in the journal Psychiatric Services.

That was a loss of 1,163 Spanish-speaking mental health facilities.

Overall, 44 states saw a decline in the availability of services in Spanish, despite growth in Hispanic populations across all states.

The national Hispanic population increased by 4.5%, or 5.2 million people, during the same period.

The study examined data from the National Mental Health Services Survey conducted in 2014 and 2019.

The big picture: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports over 40% of Latino adults reported symptoms of depression during the pandemic, compared to 25% of white non-Hispanics.

But only about 33% of Hispanics with a mental health disorder generally get treatment, compared to 45% of non-Hispanics, according to a 2018 Department of Health and Human Services report.

And just 7% of licensed psychologists in the U.S. identify as Latino, according to the American Psychological Association, while even fewer, 5.5% of therapists, can provide services in Spanish.

What they're saying: "Disparities in behavioral health risk factors in the past decade have also grown and closely parallel the overall growth in the Hispanic population," the authors wrote.

The intrigue: Oklahoma, North Dakota, Ohio, Kentucky, and Maine experienced some of the largest percentage decreases in Spanish-language mental health services.

Meanwhile, Delaware, Maryland, Montana, Nebraska, and New Mexico saw tiny increases.

From the American Southwest to New England, Latino candidates are seeking to break barriers in statewide races and flip seats traditionally held by opposing parties. 

Why it matters: If successful, the up-and-coming candidates could quickly become the faces of their parties and catapult themselves onto the national stage. 

Latinos are roughly 19% of the U.S population, but are deeply underrepresented in politics.  

Who to watch: Zack Quintero, Democratic candidate for New Mexico state auditor, would be one of the nation's youngest statewide elected Hispanic officials at 31. He's running on an anti-corruption platform.

Monica De La Cruz, a Republican candidate for a U.S. House seat, is  one of a trio of Latina GOP congressional hopefuls who could flip traditionally Democratic seats in South Texas.  The others are Cassy Garcia and Mayra Flores.

Maxwell Alejandro Frost, an Afro Cuban Democrat and gun violence survivor, is hoping to thwart Republican Cuban American power in Florida and win a central Florida seat representing Orlando.

Puerto Rican-born Raúl Labrador, a Republican and former congressman, is seeking to become Idaho's attorney general. 

The intrigue: Sonia Chang-Díaz, a former teacher and the first Latina and Asian American to serve in the Massachusetts Senate, is seeking the Democratic nomination for governor in Massachusetts. 

Some Massachusetts cities, like Lawrence and Chelsea, are majority Latino.

Don't forget: New Mexico Republicans are attracting a record number of Hispanic candidates for state House seats.

New Mexico has the highest percentage of Hispanics of any state. It's also dominated by Democrats, who control the governor's office, legislature, two U.S. Senate seats and two of three House seats.

Latin America and Latinos

From the American Southwest to New England, Latino candidates are seeking to break barriers in statewide races and flip seats traditionally held by opposing parties. Why it matters: If successful, the up-and-coming candidates could quickly become the faces of their parties and catapult themselves onto the national stage.

China is becoming the most formidable rival America has faced, and the risk of confrontation with Russia, North Korea or Iran still looms. Authoritarians are rising, the chaotic Afghanistan exit revealed the limits of U.S. power, and the pandemic, climate change and other critical challenges continue to pose grave threats.

World

One of the many growing wildfires in New Mexico is forcing residents near Los Alamos National Laboratory to prepare for possible evacuations. 

Why it matters: Los Alamos National Laboratory is one of the nation's premier nuclear labs and is where the world's first atomic bomb was developed during World War II. 

Driving the news: Authorities announced Monday that Los Alamos County and Los Alamos National Lab would be placed on "set" status because of the expanding Cerro Pelado Fire. Communities use the "Ready, Set, Go" status before evacuating. 

“Set” means Los Alamos-area residents need an evacuation plan, a “go bag,” and evacuation and contact information.

The “go” stage would give everyone a 24-hour window to evacuate.

 Los Alamos National Lab, or LANL, said Monday it would begin maximum telework for all non-mission essential employees. 

Details: The Cerro Pelado Fire has ballooned to 68 square miles in the Jemez Mountains and is only 11% contained.

More than 1,000 personnel are on-site to fight the inferno amid frequent windstorms and a lack of rain.

The National Interagency Fire Center reports New Mexico currently has seven other wildfires in the southern and northern parts of the state forcing evacuations and destroying homes. 

Smoke from the Cerro Pelado Fire as seen from Los Alamos as cars drive on a highway.

If evacuations are ordered for Los Alamos, LANL facilities would be placed on a standardized “safe shutdown" process to ensure the safety and security of each building, according to its procedures and materials on hand. 

Lab facilities are designed and operated to protect the materials inside. Radiological and other potentially hazardous materials are stored in containers engineered and tested to withstand heat from a fire, LANL said. 

What's next: High wind and low humidity over the past two days have caused the Cerro Pelado Fire to grow, but officials say the blaze near Los Alamos is burning slowly.

Yes, but: New Mexico's unpredictable weather could change that and quickly place Los Alamos in danger.

Don't forget: Around 96% of New Mexico is under severe drought or worse, according to the Federal Drought Monitor.

A megafire, known as the Calf Canyon/Hermits Peak Fire, has grown to the nation's largest wildfire and is now around 260 square miles.

Some historic Hispanic towns around Las Vegas, New Mexico, many founded before the United States existed, are under mandatory evacuations.
