“Undocumented residents” arrested in brazen NJ rape
Update: Here are the suspect photos:
***
If you can get past the nauseating euphemisms, this report is worth reading:
Three undocumented immigrant men remain jailed today in the brazen sexual assault of an unconscious woman in Fairview, an outdoor attack interrupted by law officers early Tuesday, authorities said.
Police reported the men, all undocumented residents from Guatemala, to Immigration and Customs Enforcement, authorities said. The report was in accordance with a recent directive from the state attorney general, ordering local officers to check the immigration status of all suspects charged with serious crimes or drunken driving.
One man, the alleged rapist, was arrested almost immediately after he was spotted attacking his victim and chased down, police said. A second man believed to have aided in the woman’s capture, who fled the scene when he was spotted, was arrested Tuesday night. A third man was charged with hindering the investigation, officials said.
The attack began about 1:40 a.m. Tuesday after the woman stepped off a bus from New York, where she spent time with friends, Fairview Deputy Police Chief Frank Del Vecchio said today. She was accosted by two men at the bus stop and carried or dragged across a patch of grass to an alley outside an Oritani Savings Bank on Fairview Avenue, Del Vecchio said.
Two law officers approaching the scene observed a man “who appeared to be in the act of committing a sexual assault upon an unconscious female victim,” Bergen County Prosecutor John Molinelli said in a statement.
The fact that the police reported the men to the feds is a significant step forward in combating the criminal alien crisis. This is the Newark effect in action. While national media outlets have moved on and forgotten the lessons of the awful execution-style murders by criminal aliens, law enforcement has not.
This is good news.
What we need to know now is how these suspects got into the country, who aided and abetted them in staying here, who employed them if they had jobs, whose identities they stole if they had fake papers, and who released them if they had ever been caught and let go by judges/immigration courts before.
Noteworthy: Prior to the AG’s order, the Fairview NJ Police Department was listed as an organization opposed to local cooperation with federal immigration enforcement.
In other words: they supported sanctuary.
Is it any wonder the suspects acted as brazenly as they are reported to have acted in their sexual asasult on the victim in this case?

Update: Here’s the Bergen County press release on the arrests. Two were unemployed…perhaps collecting the welfare Americans weren’t collecting? The other worked for Hackensack Paving.
Bergen County Prosecutor=s Office
PRESS RELEASE
TO: ALL NEWS MEDIA
FROM: PROSECUTOR JOHN MOLINELLI
DATE: SEPTEMBER 12, 2007Bergen County Prosecutor John L. Molinelli announced the arrest of Martin Cana-Chocoj (25 yrs. old) of 86 Anderson Ave. Apt. #10, Fairview New Jersey and Sergio Ramon-Estrada (19 yrs. old) of 126 Anderson Avenue, Fairview, New Jersey,on charges of Aggravated Assault and Aggravated Sexual Assault stemming from an assault on a female victim on September 11, 2007 in Fairview New Jersey. Felix Chocoj-Ortiz, the cousin of Estrada, age 25, 216 Cliff St. Cliffside Park, NJ, was also arrested and charged with Hindering the investigation.
The arrest came about as a result of an investigation being conducted by members of the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office, Sex Crimes and Child Abuse Squad, under the direction of Acting Chief Joseph Macellaro and the Fairview Police Department, under the direction of Chief John Pinzone.
The initial investigation stemmed from a witness who observed an individual acting suspiciously on Fairview Ave. near the Oritani Bank located at 311 Fairview Avenue in Fairview, New Jersey at about 1:40 a.m. on Tuesday September 11,2007. The witness made eye contact with the individual who in turn fled the area. Suspecting something wrong, the witness flagged down a Fairview police officer and the two investigated the area near the bank. There they found an additional suspect who appeared to be in the act of committing a sexual assault upon an unconscious female victim. The suspect later identified as Cana-Chocoj was apprehended near the scene as he attempted to flee. Ramon-Estrada, who it was later determined was the individual who initially fled the scene, was apprehended late Tuesday evening at his residence in Fairview.
The investigation has revealed that Martin Cana-Chocoj and Sergio Ramon Estrada observed the victim at a bus stop on Fairview Ave. in Fairview and carried her to the area next to the Oritani Bank where the sexual assault occurred.
The victim was transported to Palisades General Hospital in North Bergen and then later transported to Columbia Presbyterian Hospital in New York.
Bail for Martin Cana-Chocoj and Sergio Ramon-Estrada was set by Honorable Edward Jerejian, J.S.C., in the amount of $500,000.00 each with no ten percent cash option. Bail for Felix Cana- Chocoj was set at $50,000.00. In addition an US Immigration and Naturalization detainer was placed on the three defendants.
Arraignment is scheduled for Wednesday, September 12, 2007 at 4:00 p.m. before Honorable Keith Roberts, JMC.
Prosecutor Molinelli states that the defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt and would like to thank the two witnesses, Carl Lio, a New Jersey State Corrections Officer and Fairview Police Officer Jose Rivas, as well as the Fairview Police Department for their assistance in this investigation.

3 more for the first plane out of the country….
After they serve their time, of course.
What say you now Geraldo the Spitter? Better hurry and run to their defense. I can hear his whinning now.
COR. WHINING.
Aj…
Of course - this wouldn’t even be a story if they weren’t illegal, right?
Guess that’s why the 6 white males who raped the black woman made national headlines…..
When will people learn the fact that if these people were not here - the crimes they committed would not have happened?
Do we have to deport them? can’t we just let the woman’s relatives have about an hour with their sorry a**es and if she has no relatives I and my family would like to be defacto relatives.
They’re not GOING to learn it. It’s common sense. And they don’t have it.
That’s the question of the
dayyear. They just don’t get it. It will take an act directly on them then they might.Exactly. We need to deport the criminals after they serve their time, not let them out here to commit more crimes. But, to the left, they just say, but then they would be over there committing these crimes. Their logic astounds me.
Esculation of deadly force was authorized. I wonder why they are still breathing.
How many did Chertoff allow in through the southern border today?
This is good news. The lawlessness that comes from open borders is staggering. Here in California it is just plain weird.
Their sense of entitlement is absurd. I went through this whole mess around providing “translation” for them at our PTA meetings.
There is no law that says it is required. The California Education Code says that teaching is to be in english, the language of learning.
Yet the pressure groups (La Raza et al) are creating the impression that US laws require these services for Spanish preference speakers.
Illegally here- but with a sense of entitlement.
So what can we expect from the young men, like these suspects above, who are here without any accountability to laws of this country and where they are living too?
When they are drunks, drug addicted (there is never any mention about any tox screens that are done) and sexually deviant miscreants- what do we think their sense of entitlement is going to include?
Of course, rape, murder, and theft, organized crime (MS13, La Nuestra Familia, Mexican Mafia)- the whole package.
And because they know the police are intimidated by the ACLU and the National Lawyers Guild, they know they won’t experience any threat of shoot-to-kill or shoot first and ask questions later police presence.
So they gamble on the courts and their system of “immigrant rights advocacy groups” to keep them out of prison and back on the streets.
We’ve yet to reach the tipping point with all of this. When we do, blood will spill in order for the Nation to be saved.
Proactive government is an oxymoron and shouldn’t be counted on unless it is about raising our taxes and subsidizing socialist causes.
Why are all these people ‘undocumented?’ Why don’t they get documents? Are they here illegally, or something?
Do you mean the right to remain silent, the right to an attorney, and since you can’t afford one on unemployment, at taxpayer expense? The right to umpteen appeals? and a separate attorney for the deportation appeals process? and room and board at taxpayer expense?
Just drop them off in downtown Gaza City wearing nothing but an “I Love Jesus” tee shirt and be done with it. Deportation and sentencing all in one.
“Only here doing jobs Americans don’t want to do!” — GWB
No matter how you may feel about deporting “undocumented immigrants”, it is certainly one way to get rid of those who commit violent crimes.
Remember, the only way they were able to get rid of Al Capone was for tax evasion, a secondary crime; because they couldn’t get him for mob activities, the real crime.
America has another thing, besides the disastrous Iraq war, to thank Bush for. And the congress is letting Bush get away with it…. Go figure!
On a related note, the Dream Act Amnesty is coming up for a vote in the Senate next week. This would be an amnesty for virtually ALL illegals, yet no one-not even MM-is talking about this, except NumbersUSA. To qualify for this amnesty, an illegal must simply sign a sworn statement that they’ve “maintained continuous presence in the United States for five years and was not yet 16 years old upon initial entry”. There’s no corroborating proof required. (see numbersusa.com for more info). NumbersUSA says they haven’t yet received a pledge to vote against this amendment from even one Senator & unless we fight this as much as we fought the BKK amnesty, it’s guaranteed to pass.

Nothing is going to change until Tom Tancredo is elected: http://www.teamtancredo.typepad.com
I noticed that the Katy, Texas Police Dept. is included on the list. I wonder how long it has been included on the list. Katy was very accomodating to the Katrina evacuees, and so maybe they decided to not check the immigration status of an evacuee, and perhaps that’s how they got on the list.
(I know about Katy; I evacuated there because of Katrina, and they bent over backwards to take care of incoming evacuees, as did all of Houston.
The anti-shamnesty movement is paying dividends. Great work Michelle.
May God help the poor victim.
Two were unemployed. I hate to admit it, but those two are doing the work that this American won’t do. The third one, working for a paving company, is doing the work that I once had to do to put food on the table.
It’s terrible that stories like this are what will finally bring people to their senses. Prosecute them, incarcerate them, then deport them when their time has been served.
I suspect the victim might be illegal, too. If so, after the trial she should be deported, as well.
Yet another illegal busted for rape.
This happened less than 5 minutes from my own home. I am sick beyond belief, not only because of the depravity of the crime and the thought of the horror of the plight of the victim, who happens to take the same bus route that I do out of the city, but also because I have yet to see anything about this in the local media.
As I typically do, I will call Rep. Albio Sires’ and Sen. Bob Menendez’s office about this and as a result will get the generic, canned letter in reply. Something needs to change.
More like “Undocumented Sex Offenders”!
The macho spitter just said he was sorry.
We should deport them as soon as their 25 years to atone for their crimes is completed with no time off for good behavior and no possibility of parole. It would almost be worth it if we could hold the in a certain detainment facility in Arizona. They could wear pink underwear eat bologna sandwiches and work in the hot sun on a chain gang.

Tom Tancredo has a clear and a consistent record against illegal immigration (inlike opportunist Romney and Rudy). The change you talk about can start with Tom Tancredo for President: http://www.teamtancredo.typepad.com
Here is an interesting article on Bush: http://www.vdare.com/guzzardi/070914_yuma.htm
Why are these animals still alive?It’s time for America to grow a pair.
Deportation ,Hell……elimination.
NO! NO! NO! We do not need to pay for this scum to stay in our prisons and feed off us any longer.
I propose a series of UPC tattoos (forehead, arm and knee), an alarm capacitor, and a pair of RFID information chips shoved in them somewhere. If they attempt to cross a “virtual” fence equipped with the equipment - Walmart has the same stuff - they buzz like a banshee…and someone shoots in that direction.
I got quick, simple, inexpensive solutions, but Cheroff doesn’t consult me.
Guess most women in this country need to keep their guard up.
We have enough of raping women by our own citizens.
How in the hell are we supposed to “accept” these illegals when situations such as this occur on a regular basis.
I cannot go anywhere and make eye contact with any Hispanic male, regarding those that are laborers, fearing they are of the same mentality as those above.
I am sure there are some good people that are illegal, but I trust NO ONE, unfortunately. Those that have been subcontracted to work on my house give me the creeps. They just stare at you and talk about you knowing you do not understand a word of what they say.
This open border fiasco has led to fear and distrust just within our own neighborhoods.
The Hispanic culture believes abusing women is a right. At least that is what some farmers around here say about their field workers. I can see it just watching Hispanics interact..those that are not Americanized in particular.
How do we survive this folks?
Thanks Bush.
In case anyone missed it last night ( I don’t see any other comments about it here, but could be wrong ):
Yes - The Great Spitball himself “apologized” for his ’spitting’ comments towards Michelle. It was on O’Reilly, and O’Reilly himself brought the subject up at the end of their segment.
When Bill O did bring it up, Geraldo went into this great act of body language, shifting, head shaking as if to say, “Oh, yeah, I screwed up”… then went on to say that he was speaking in the heat of the moment, was all emotional at the time and it just came out.
He apologized, said he wouldn’t do that, that he’s not a spitter, etc…
In all honesty, I got the feeling while watching it that this was a “forced” segment - that someone got the word and someone told him to do this, or at least told Bill to do it. It seemed contrived.
The most telling portion of that assessment is that Bill O’Reilly was the one who brought up the incident.
If Geraldo was a man, and truly felt remorse for what he’d said, he would have initiated the topic - or come on within 48 hours asking for 5 minutes of airtime to apologize.
I don’t buy it.
Nobody else says this stuff. This is what the system needs to start doing.
jrl,
When I first heard the new segment “dhuepoint@FOXNews.com I sent her Geraldo’s quote. The new Ombudswoman probably received plenty of them and it was time for him to publicly apologize (overdue) but none the less he did. I say Good Boy, and give him a cookie. He did get kinda squirmy though didn’t he, lol
He was very squirmy during the ‘apology’….
I still think he’s a real pant-load - and would have respected him a smidgen more if, as I said, he’d have initiated the apology quickly.
jrl, yes I agree and also not have to be cattle prodded to do it. pant-load lol.

And Bush has the nerve of touting ‘Hispanic Family Values’ that do not stop at ‘Rio Grande’…
Behind Bush’s ‘family values’ and ‘jobs Americans don’t do’, is the secret untold deal with his rich corporate to provide unlimited cheap labor. Gosh! Can’t believe Americans are so silly to believe the’family value’ crap as they get raped and murdered each day. Oh, and in Bush band-wagon are DHS chief, mayors and city councils that pass/approve/reaffirm the ’sanctuary’ policy. Needless to say no city mayor/city council member gets murdered or raped. See how politicians sell hard-working, tax-paying Americans out?
Tom Tancredo has rightly called for legal action against maors and city council that has aproved ’sanctuary’ policy for their cities: http://www.teamtancredo.typepad.com
For those who do not know, Rudy Giuliani passed / approved ’santuary policy for NY city TWICE. Not only that, Rudy went to court to protect the ’sanctuary’ policy. By becoming president guess Rudy wants to turn USA into a ’sanctuary’ country. Too late Rudy, Bush has already seen to that.
I missed the apology…I have my t.v. programed to change channels when ever Whorealdo’s name is mentioned or it is announced he’ll be on next. Does not matter? no, it was a phony apology, obviously Fox told him to. The BOR and Fox have lost almost all credibility with me…time for a new, conservative network.. Fox hides behind it’s slogan…”fair and balanced”…my a$$!
George Bush
No. I think we need to take all the tax money we spend on housing illegal immigrants in our prison system, put it toward building a wall along the ENTIRE Mexican/American border, and then send this idiots home on a plane before they get to live in our prison system. Which, while distasteful to many, is a hell of a lot better than other prison systems and other nations.
I am sick of my tax dollars going to support those who break our laws from the second they walk into this nation, who murder, drive drunk, rape, rob, and drug traffic while their amnesty supporters whine they just want “opportunity” in America.
Sanctuary no more. Amnesty never!
