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 nineteen 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 Victor Christopher KALABA committed the offense of 

illegal re-entry after removal, in violation of Title 8, United States Code, Section l 326(a) 

and (b)(2). 

3. On or about August 14, 2022, Victor Christopher KALABA was arrested 

in Palm Beach County, Florida for the offense of driving under the influence. He was 

booked and detained at the Palm Beach County Jail. 

4. A review of the immigration records show that Victor Christopher 

KALABA is a native of the former Yugoslavia. Records further show that on or about 

November 23 , 2009, Victor Christopher KALABA was ordered removed from the United 

Case 9:22-cr-80131-AMC Document 1 Entered on FLSD Docket 08/15/2022 Page 3 of 6
States. The Order of Removal was executed on or about May 27, 2010, whereby Victor 

Christopher KALABA was removed from the United States. 

5. · Records further show that KALABA's removal was subsequent to a 

conviction for commission of an aggravated felony. Specifically, on or about June 22, 

2006, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, Victor 

Christopher KALABA was convicted of the aggravated felony offenses of Conspiracy to 

commit access device fraud, a Class D Felony, and Access Device Fraud, a Class C 

Felony, in Case Number 05-CR-00680-02 (CLB). KALABA was sentenced to 46 months 

in prison, to be followed by 3 years of supervised release, and ordered to pay 

$206,484.03 in restitution. 

6. Victor Christopher KALABA's fingerprints that were taken in connection 

with his August 14, 2022 arrest in Palm Beach County were scanned into the IAFIS 

system. Results confirmed that the scanned fingerprints belong to the same individual 

who was previously removed from the United States, that is Victor Christopher 

KALABA. 

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

Informational Management System to determine if Victor Christopher KALABA filed an 

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

deportation or removal. Pursuant to the search, a record was found to exist indicating 

that Victor Christopher KALABA's Application for Permission to Reapply for 

Admission into the United States After Deportation or Removal was denied on or about 

February 1, 2019.

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

on or about August 14, 2022, Victor Christopher KALABA, an alien who had previously 

been deported and removed from the United States (subsequent to an aggravated felony . 

conviction), 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)(2).
