(CNN) A Texas florist charged in connection with the US Capitol insurrection will be allowed to go to Mexico later this month, a federal judge ruled Friday.

The case involving Jenny Cudd got national attention this week after she wrote to a judge asking for permission to visit Riviera Maya, Mexico, for a four-day retreat this month.

On Friday, Judge Trevor N. McFadden of the DC District Court granted her request. McFadden, a Trump appointee, noted that the Justice Department did not oppose Cudd's request to visit Mexico.

"The Court also notes (Cudd) has no criminal history and there is no evidence before the Court suggesting the Defendant is a flight risk or poses a danger to others," McFadden wrote in a written order.

1. Not of flight risk? She's going to Mexico, for Pete's sake!

She may, indeed, return; but this is foolish. And it's foolish of the Justice Department not to oppose it. I thought this was funny when I first read of her request, but now her request has been granted. I guess the ridiculous comes to pass too often in this world.

2. Let me guess, she is white, right?

This is beyond fucked up.
