SOB STORY FROM NEW JERSEY: After six 10-hour workdays a week at a nail salon, Gloria Chocoj picks up her children from the baby sitter, walks them home and begins her evening routine: cooking dinner, helping with homework, giving baths before bedtime and packing school lunches. It is a full schedule she has tackled alone since December — after her husband, Jose Estrada Lopez, who entered the country illegally from Guatemala 14 years ago, was picked up by immigration officials. His arrest and detention in Elizabeth forced Chocoj to get a full-time job and become the sole provider and caregiver of their three young children. “One day I had my husband, and the next day I didn’t,” said Chocoj, holding back tears as her children — ages 7, 6 and 5 — watched television in a nearby room in their Fairview apartment.
