一名妇女因涉嫌袭击美国国会大厦在一名法官周五批准了她的请求后，她将能够在本月进行一次预付费的墨西哥之旅。
美国联邦调查局(FBI)的证词显示，德克萨斯州米德兰(Midland)的花店老板珍妮·卡德(Jenny Cudd)最初面临两项轻罪指控——进入受限建筑和暴力或扰乱秩序——此前她涉嫌发布了一段社交媒体视频，在视频中吹嘘参与了上月的国会大厦骚乱。
她于1月21日以个人担保的方式获释，条件是任何美国大陆以外的旅行都必须得到法院的批准。
周一，她的律师提出了这一要求。正如在提交的动议中所说，在她被指控参与国会大厦的围攻之前，Cudd已经“计划并预付了2月18日至21日与她的员工在里维埃拉玛雅的周末度假费用”。
她的律师法赫纳·西迪基写道:“这是员工和他们的配偶与工作相关的一次聚会。”。
为了支持这一请求，西迪基指出，Cudd没有犯罪记录，是美国公民，一直与她的律师保持“经常联系”，并按照命令与审前缓刑服务机构保持联系。
根据该动议，Cudd的审前服务官员不反对旅行请求，检察官建议政府对此"不采取立场"。
DC地方法院法官特雷弗·麦克法登周五批准了这一请求，并在命令中指出，库德没有犯罪史，似乎不会对他人构成逃跑风险或危险。她被要求向她的审前服务官员提供她的旅行日程。
自该动议提出以来，Cudd周三被控犯有更严重的罪行，包括阻碍官方诉讼——这是一项重罪，最高可判处20年监禁，如果定罪，可处以巨额罚款。她总共面临五项指控。
作为审前释放条款的一部分，除了与她的案件有关的事项之外，Cudd还被命令“远离”华盛顿特区，并且必须通知审前服务机构她在家乡德克萨斯州以外的任何旅行。她还被命令向该机构交出任何护照，并且不得获得护照或任何其他国际旅行证件。
美国广播公司新闻部在提出动议后联系了她的律师征求意见，但没有得到回应。
该动议称，2019年竞选米德兰市长失败的Cudd是“她所在社区的一名既定成员”。
1月6日，当局在国会大厦内的一张照片中认出了她。联邦调查局的证词称，她还在后来被删除的Facebook直播中发表声明，“表明她承认进入美国国会大厦”，包括据称是冲进国会大厦并闯入众议院议长南希·佩洛西办公室的人群的一员。
根据证词，Cudd在视频中说，“我们确实打碎了南希·佩洛西的办公室门，有人偷了她的小木槌，并拍了一张坐在椅子上关掉相机的照片。”
“我为我的行为感到骄傲，今天我用爱国者来武装国会大厦。“是的，我为我的行为感到骄傲，”据称，库德说。
根据宣誓书，Cudd在参加了前总统唐纳德·特朗普1月6日的活动后去了国会大厦“拯救美国拉力赛”在白宫附近举行，国会聚集在一起确认乔·拜登总统的当选。
宣誓书还提到了1月8日Cudd对当地一家新闻电台的采访，据报道，她在采访中说，“我们爱国者确实袭击了美国国会大厦……是的，我绝对会再做一次。”
截至1月26日，司法部已经确定400名嫌疑人和135名被指控与国会大厦的袭击有关。
Woman arrested over Capitol riot allowed to take trip to Mexico, judge rules
A woman arrested in connection with the attack on the U.S. Capitol will be able to go on a prepaid trip to Mexico this month, after a judge granted her request Friday.
Jenny Cudd, a flower shop owner in Midland, Texas, initially faced two misdemeanor charges -- entering a restricted building and violent or disorderly conduct -- after allegedly posting a social media video in which she boasted about participating in last month's Capitol riot, according to the FBI affidavit.
She was released on a personal recognizance bond on Jan. 21, under conditions that require any travel outside the continental United States be approved by the court.
On Monday, her lawyer requested just that. As stated in the filed motion, before her alleged participation in the siege on the Capitol, Cudd had "planned and prepaid for a weekend retreat with her employees" in the Riviera Maya from Feb. 18 to 21.
"This is a work-related bonding retreat for employees and their spouses," her lawyer, Farheena Siddiqui, wrote.
In support of the request, Siddiqui noted that Cudd has no criminal history, is a U.S. citizen, has remained in "constant contact" with her attorney and, as ordered, is in contact with pretrial probation services.
According to the motion, Cudd's pretrial services officer has no objection to the travel request, and the prosecutor advised that the government "takes no position" on it.
DC District Court Judge Trevor McFadden approved the request on Friday, noting in the order that Cudd has no criminal history and doesn't appear to be a flight risk or danger to others. She is required to give her trip itinerary to her pretrial services officer.
Since the motion's filing, Cudd was indicted Wednesday on more serious charges, including obstruction of an official proceeding -- a felony that carries a maximum prison sentence of 20 years and substantial fines if convicted. She faces five total charges.
As part of the terms of her pretrial release, Cudd is also ordered to "stay away" from Washington, D.C., except for matters pertaining to her case, and must notify the Pretrial Services Agency of any travel outside of her home state of Texas. She was also ordered to surrender any passport to the agency and to not obtain a passport or any other international travel document.
ABC News had reached out to her lawyer for comment after filing the motion but did not receive a response.
Cudd, who unsuccessfully ran for mayor of Midland in 2019, is an "established member of her community," the motion stated.
Authorities identified her in a photo posing inside the Capitol building on Jan. 6. She also made statements in a since-removed Facebook livestream "indicating her admission of entering the U.S. Capitol," the FBI affidavit stated, including allegedly being a part of the crowd that stormed the Capitol and broke into House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's office.
According to the affidavit, Cudd said in the video, "We did break down Nancy Pelosi's office door, and somebody stole her gavel and took a picture sitting in the chair flipping off the camera."
"I am proud of my actions, I f----- charged the Capitol today with patriots today. Hell yes, I am proud of my actions," Cudd allegedly said.
According to the affidavit, Cudd went to the Capitol after attending former President Donald Trump's Jan. 6 "Save America Rally," held near the White House as Congress gathered to certify the election of President Joe Biden.
The affidavit also referenced a Jan. 8 interview Cudd gave to a local news station, during which she reportedly said, "We the patriots did storm the U.S. Capitol … Yes, I would absolutely do it again."
As of Jan. 26, the Department of Justice has identified 400 suspects and charged 135 in connection with the attack on the Capitol.
