AFFIDAVIT OF ANDY KORZEN 

UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY 

IMMIGRATION AND CUSTOMS ENFORCEMENT 

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

l. 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 (ICE) 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 Rigoberto MARTINEZ-FLORES committed the offense of 

illegal re-entry after removal, in violation of Title 8, United States Code, Sections 

l326(a) and (b)(l). 

3. On or about October 23, 2022, Rigoberto MARTINEZ-FLORES was 

arrested in Palm Beach County, Florida on an outstanding warrant from Broward County 

for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, and criminal mischief. He was booked and 

detained at the Palm Beach County Jail. 

4. A review of the immigration records shows that Rigoberto MARTINEZFLORES is a native and citizen of Honduras. Records further show that on or about 

September 30, 1993, Rigoberto MARTINEZ-FLORES was ordered deported. The Order 

Case 9:22-cr-80182-AMC Document 1 Entered on FLSD Docket 11/02/2022 Page 3 of 5
of Deportation was executed on or about October 4, 1993, whereby Rigoberto 

MARTINEZ-FLORES was deported from the United States and returned to Honduras. 

5. Thereafter, Rigoberto MARTINEZ-FLORES re-entered the United States 

illegally and on or about September 16, 1994, was ordered deported. The Order of 

Deportation was executed on or about June 22, 1994, whereby Rigoberto MARTINEZFLORES was deported from the United States and returned to Honduras for the second 

time. 

6. Thereafter, Rigoberto MARTINEZ-FLORES re-entered the United States 

illegally, and on or about May 2, 2000, was ordered removed. The Order of Removal was 

executed on or about May 22, 2009, whereby Rigoberto MARTINEZ-FLORES was 

removed from the United States and returned to Honduras for the third time. 

7. Thereafter, Rigoberto MARTINEZ-FLORES re-entered the United States 

illegally, his prior order of deportation was re-instated, and on or about November 5, 

2010, Rigoberto MARTINEZ-FLORES was removed from the United States and 

deported to Honduras for the fourth time. 

8. Records further show that on or about February 12, 2010, in the United 

States District Court, Western District of Tennessee, Rigoberto MARTINEZ-FLORES 

was convicted of the felony offense of illegal re-entry of a deported alien, in case number 

09-20358-01-Ma. 

9. Rigoberto MARTINEZ-FLORES's fingerprints taken in connection with 

his October 23, 2022, arrest in Palm Beach County were scanned into the IAFIS system. 

Results confirmed that the scanned fingerprints belong to the individual who was 

previously removed from the United States, that is, Rigoberto MARTINEZ-FLORES.

10. A records check was perfmmed in the Computer Linked Application 

Informational Management System to determine if Rigoberto MARTINEZ-FLORES 

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 Rigoberto MARTINEZ-FLORES 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. 

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

on or about October 23, 2022, Rigoberto MARTINEZ-FLORES, an alien who was 

previously deported and removed from the United States, was found in the United States 

without having received 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, Sections 1326(a) and (b)(l).
