AFFIDAVIT 

OF 

ANDYKORZEN 

UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY 

IMMIGRATION AND CUSTOMS ENFORCEMENT 

I, Andy Korzen, being duly sworn, depose and state as follows: 

1. I am a Task Force Officer (TFO) with the Homeland Security 

Investigations (HSI), and I am also Deportation Officer with the Immigration and 

Customs Enforcement and have been so employed for over eighteen years. I am currently 

assigned to the HSI, West Palm Beach, Florida. My duties and responsibilities include 

enforcing criminal and administrative immigration laws of the United States. I have also 

conducted and participated in investigations of this nature. 

2. This affidavit is based upon my own knowledge as well as information 

provided to me by other law enforcement officers. This affidavit does not set forth every 

fact known to me regarding the investigation but only those facts necessary to establish 

probable cause to believe that Juan Pablo MONTEJO, also known as Juan Montejo 

ANDRES-PABLO committed the offense of illegal re-entry after removal, in violation of 

Title 8, United States Code, Section l 326(a) and (b )(1). 

3. On or about May 28, 2022, Juan Pablo MONTEJO was arrested in Palm 

Beach County, Florida for the offenses of fraud - give false identification to law 

enforcement officer, resist/obstruct officer without violence, driving without license 

issued, crash-filing false report to law enforcement, and violation of probation. He was 

booked and detained at the Palm Beach County Jail. 

4. A review of the immigration records show that Juan Pablo MONTEJO is a 

native and citizen of Guatemala. Records further show that on or about January 26, 2010, 

Case 9:22-cr-80153-AMC Document 1 Entered on FLSD Docket 06/03/2022 Page 3 of 6
Juan Pablo MONTEJO was ordered removed. The Order of Removal was executed on or 

about February 5, 20 I 0, whereby Juan Pablo MONTEJO was removed from the United 

States and returned to Guatemala. 

5. Thereafter, Juan Pablo MONTEJO re-entered the United States illegally 

and on or about December 18, 2018, was removed and returned to Guatemala for the 

second time. 

6. Records further show that on or about November 30, 2018, in the United 

States District Court, Southern District of Florida, Juan Pablo MONTEJO was convicted 

of the felony offense of Illegal Reentry After Deportation, case number 18-80199-CRMARRA. 

7. Juan Pablo MONTEJO's fingerprints taken in connection with his May 

28, 2022, arrest in Palm Beach County were scanned into the IAFIS system. Results 

confirmed that scanned fingerprints belong to the individual who was previously 

removed from the United States, that is Juan Pablo MONTEJO. 

8. A record check was performed in the Computer Linked Application 

Informational Management System to determine if Juan Pablo MONTEJO filed an 

application for permission to reapply for admission into the United States after 

deportation or removal. After a search was performed in that database system, no record 

was found to exist indicating that Juan Pablo MONTEJO obtained consent from the 

Attorney General of the United States or from the Secretary of Homeland Security, for 

re-admission into the United States as required by law. 

9. Based on the foregoing, I submit that probable cause exists to believe that, 

on or about May 28, 2022, Juan Pablo MONTEJO, an alien who has previously been 

2 

Case 9:22-cr-80153-AMC Document 1 Entered on FLSD Docket 06/03/2022 Page 4 of 6
deported and removed from the United States, was found in the United States without 

having received the express consent from the Attorney General or the Secretary of the 

Department of Homeland Security for re-admission into the United States, in violation of 

Title 8, United States Code, Section 1326(a) and (b)(l).
