Jenny Cudd, who was accused of participating in the January 6 uprising on the United States Capitol, made headlines last week after asking a federal court to grant her permission to leave the country for a withdrawal in Mexico.
According to the new court documents, she will be able to make her trip.
A federal judge ruled in favor of Cudd’s request on Friday afternoon, granting the Texas florist’s motion to visit Mexico for a “planned and prepaid” four-day weekend retreat with his employees at the end this month on the Riviera Maya.
DC District Court Judge Trevor McFadden signed the order, noting that Cudd has no previous criminal history. McFadden, appointed by Trump in 2017, also said there was no evidence to suggest that she posed a danger to others or was a flight risk.
The motion said Cudd would have to provide his itinerary to the pre-trial supervisory services officer.
Cudd was accused in January of illegally entering a restricted and disorderly building after the FBI said a video showed her inside the Capitol on January 6. FBI documents say Cudd walked through various parts of the Capitol and used social media to document his time at the building.
“I fucked the Capitol today with patriots today. Hell, yes, I’m proud of my actions,” she reportedly said in a video on Facebook.
After the confusion, Cudd remained unapologetic. She participated in an interview with a local news station, where she confirmed that she entered the building and said she “would do it again,” according to FBI documents.
Unlike other protesters accused in the attack, Cudd was released from prison after his arrest. Her lawyer told CNN that she plans to plead not guilty to the charges.
In order to make the case permitted on withdrawal, which would have been planned before her actions on January 6, Cudd’s lawyers described her as a “small business owner” and “established member of her community” who followed all court orders. far and with no criminal record.
Mexican tourist destinations remained busy despite the pandemic. Last month, Insider reported that Mexico was seeing an increase in COVID-19 cases due to Americans on vacation and resettling in the country.
