In granting Cudd's request to go to Riviera Maya, Mexico, the judge noted the govt and pretrial services didn't oppose the request — that can be a major factor in a situation like this — and there was no evidence she's a flight risk https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetillman/judge-capitol-rioter-jenny-cudd-mexico-trip-granted
Something to note about Jenny Cudd — when she filed her request to go to Mexico on Feb. 1, she was facing two misdemeanors. A federal grand jury returned a five-count indictment on Feb. 3, including obstruction of an official proceeding, which is a felony https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetillman/judge-capitol-rioter-jenny-cudd-mexico-trip-granted
Cudd is among a small but growing group of Capitol insurrection defendants who have seen their charges bumped up as their cases have gone before a grand jury https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetillman/judge-capitol-rioter-jenny-cudd-mexico-trip-granted
But again, a key thing here is that neither prosecutors nor the Pretrial Services Agency opposed her travel request — absent any conflict, it becomes a lot less likely a judge is going to deny a request like this https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetillman/judge-capitol-rioter-jenny-cudd-mexico-trip-granted
