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.
