The judge let Huerta fly to Mexico in December despite restricting foreign travel. True or false?

Question

Accepted Answer

US Magistrate Judge Alicia Rosenberg released Huerta on his personal recognizance—meaning no bail payment required—but imposed travel restrictions. She ordered him to surrender his passport to his attorney and seek court approval before traveling outside the US. However, she specifically allowed him to fly to Mexico in December for the holidays. He can travel freely within the US without court approval but must stay at least 100 feet away from federal officers. Federal judges balance flight risk, public safety, and personal circumstances when setting bail terms. Judge Rosenberg's discretion to permit holiday travel shows how judicial authority shapes defendants' lives while awaiting trial.
