Two illegal migrants from the Republic of Honduras were busted on Tuesday in Nebraska after shooting and killing a North American bald eagle with the intention of cooking and eating it. The two men, who only spoke Spanish, told authorities through an interpreter app that they taught the bird was a vulture.
The Stanton County Sheriff’s Office revealed the two Honduran nationals' identities as Domingo Zetino-Hernandez and Ramio Hernandez-Tziquin, both 20 years old. The two men, who had no identification on them, told authorities that they “planned on cooking and eating the bird,” according to the Sheriff’s Office.
In an Interview with the Post, Stanton County Sheriff Mike Unger said they found that the duo are in the country illegally after conferring with United States Immigration.
Deputies stopped the men near the main Wood Duck Recreation area after receiving a report of a suspicious vehicle in the area, situated about three miles southwest of Stanton. When deputies asked the men to open the trunk of their car, they found that they were in possession of a dead North American Bald Eagle.
