New Jersey Assemblyman Avi Schnall issued an important message Thursday directed at local residents who are not United States citizens and are preparing to travel.

In a video message shared with the community, Schnall specifically addressed non-citizens living in the area who have upcoming travel plans, urging those affected to take note of his message before leaving.

The advisory comes during a busy travel period for many families in the Jewish community, with residents preparing for trips ahead of the upcoming Yom Tov season.

Schnall, who represents a district that includes a large portion of the Lakewood community, regularly addresses issues affecting local residents and families.
