ICE agents helped a Florida dad find his lost wallet — and then threw him behind bars for being an undocumented immigrant, a report says.

Flavio Musmanno, of North Miami Beach, was working on a construction job in Ohio when he dropped the billfold somewhere on Aug. 28, according to the Miami New Times.

Inside was an expired ID, $40 in cash and a few credit cards — but nothing with Musmanno’s phone number on it, his family says.

Hours later, he got a call from a person who claimed to have found the wallet and agreed to meet them at a local truck stop. His good Samaritan turned out to be an agent with US Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

“When I found out what was in the wallet, I was like, ‘Oh, Dad, why did you go?'” said Musmanno’s stepdaughter Paola. “There was no phone number in the wallet. You wouldn’t go meet strangers who found you like that, right?”

Musmanno — who was living on an expired visa — was immediately taken into custody and processed for deportation. He was still locked up at Ohio’s Seneca County Jail on Tuesday morning, waiting to be sent back to his home country of Argentina. ICE was scheduled to deport him later in the day.

“They won’t tell us anything,” Paola said.

Musmanno is reportedly married to a US citizen and has no criminal record.

He had been working toward becoming an American, himself — filing a Form I-130 in request for a green card. His daughter said officials from US Citizenship and Immigration Services were in the middle of processing his paperwork when they detained him.

“They just want to deport him!” Paola told the New Times. “We sent them the petition he filed, but they just ignored it and keep saying they’re going to deport him. And things are not good where we came from — if people find out he was living in Miami, they might think he has money and try to rob him or kidnap him.”

Attempts to reach ICE by the New Times were not immediately successful on Tuesday. Musmanno’s family has started a GoFundMe to help pay for his immigration lawyer.
