State police at Somerset released a vanload of 15 illegal aliens after federal immigration officials didn't want to go out in bad weather this week.
Cpl. Robert F. Johnson said in a news release that he stopped a van carrying the aliens at about 1:45 p.m. Tuesday on a section of the Pennsylvania Turnpike in Stony Creek Township, Somerset County. He then couldn't get U.S. immigration officials to travel to the Somerset barracks of the turnpike, he said.
"They declined to take the aliens into custody, citing poor weather conditions," Johnson's report stated.
