San Diego Federal Drug Defense: 2025 Sentencing Changes for Border Couriers & Minimal Role Reductions

If you've been charged with transporting drugs across the San Diego-Mexico border, the 2025 federal sentencing guideline amendments could significantly reduce your potential prison time. As a San Diego criminal defense attorney, I explain how drug couriers may qualify for minimal or minor role reductions under the new §2D1.1 and §3B1.2 guidelines.

In this video, you'll learn:
✓ How the 2025 amendments affect border drug courier cases
✓ Qualifying for a minimal role reduction (4-level decrease)
✓ Minor role adjustments (2-level decrease) explained
✓ Real scenarios: when couriers are eligible for reduced sentences
✓ How these reductions can save you YEARS in federal prison
✓ What federal judges look for in mitigating role arguments

Were you recruited to carry drugs across the border? You may qualify for a minimal role reduction.

Many people facing federal drug charges in San Diego were simply couriers — not organizers or major players in drug trafficking operations. The federal sentencing guidelines recognize this, and the 2025 amendments strengthen these protections.
