Carter, Sr. Statement to President Trump and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem | 2025-07-07 | 2025 | 2025-07 | Democrat | House | LA | Troy A. Carter | C001125 | troycarter.house.gov | troycarter | https://troycarter.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | NEW ORLEANS, LA – Today, Congressman Troy A. Carter, Sr. (D-LA) released the following statement: “As the U.S. Congressman for New Orleans—and as Co-Chair of the Congressional Disaster Recovery Caucus—I feel a deep and urgent responsibility to speak clearly. “The deadly flooding in Texas is a sobering reminder of what happens when preparation isignored and prevention is undercut. Dozens of lives have been lost. Families are grieving. And across the Gulf South, communities are bracing for what could come next. “This devastation is not just about rising waters—it’s about failed leadership. Under the current administration, we’ve seen dangerous cuts to FEMA, NOAA, and the National Weather Service. Satellite systems that once gave us precious hours of warning have been dismantled. These are not harmless bureaucratic changes—they are life-threatening decisions. “And now, in the middle of hurricane season, my home state of Louisiana—and others like it—are more exposed than ever before. “It is unacceptable for President Trump to deflect responsibility while families suffer the consequences. We need accountability. We need action. “I respectfully call on President Trump and Secretary Noem to: “This is not about partisanship—it’s about protection. It’s about preparation. And most of all, it’s about people. “As U.S. Congressman for Louisiana’s 2nd District and Co-Chair of the Congressional Disaster Recovery Caucus, I will continue to fight for the resources, technology, and readiness our communities need and deserve. “Because we cannot afford to wait for the next disaster to remind us of what we failed to do.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T14:40:33Z |
