What Does This Charge Mean?

Being charged with transporting illegal aliens simply means the government says you drove or moved one or more undocumented people inside the United States. This is a federal crime under 8 U.S. Code Section 1324 — meaning it is handled by federal prosecutors, not local police.

You do not have to cross the border to face this charge. You can be charged for driving someone inside San Diego County — even on a regular road — if federal agents believe you knew the person was undocumented.

What Are the Penalties?

A conviction also means a permanent federal record, possible deportation if you are not a US citizen, and loss of your vehicle through asset forfeiture.

How Can Jason Ronis Law Help?

You Did Not Know The government must prove you knew the people in your vehicle were undocumented. If you had no idea — that is a real defense. Many people are charged after unknowingly driving someone placed in their car without their knowledge. We build this defense from day one.

The Stop Was Illegal Federal agents and border patrol must still follow the law when stopping your vehicle. If the stop had no legal basis, Jason Ronis Law files a motion to throw out all the evidence. When evidence gets thrown out — charges often get dropped entirely.

You Were Threatened If someone forced or threatened you into driving — that is called duress. It is a complete defense to this charge and one Jason Ronis Law uses regularly in San Diego border region cases.

Reducing the Charge Not every case goes to trial. Jason Ronis Law negotiates with the US Attorney’s Office to reduce charges or sentences — especially when this is a first offense or when the facts show limited involvement.
