Finney County sheriffs deputies halted a van carrying 12 illegal aliens from Mexico on US Highway 156 after it failed to stay in its lane. INS officials in Wichita will hold the group for questioning and possible deportation. The driver lacked a license or proof of insurance. Previously another van with 12 adults and two teen boys from Arizona was stopped on the same highway and remained in jail until INS arrived.
