Congressman Troy Carter Pushes Bipartisan Youth Support and Oversight on ICE Practices

Congressman Troy Carter joined DC Current to outline two major priorities: supporting young people and strengthening federal oversight. He highlighted his new Bipartisan Opportunity Youth Caucus, created with Republican Rob Bresnahan, to help teenagers and young adults facing disconnection from work, school, and community. Carter said the caucus aims to break political silos, teach real listening, and give young people access to government, education, and industry. He also recapped a Democratic field hearing in New Orleans focused on alleged ICE overreach, noting concerns about unlawful searches, excessive force, and weakened training standards. Carter stressed that immigration enforcement must follow the Constitution. He closed with an update on the Insurance Affordability Tour, which brings state and federal leaders together to address rising property and flood insurance costs and find long-term solutions for homeowners and buyers.
