Trump Cuts CISA Budget By $707 Million
President Trump's fiscal 2027 budget, released April 3, proposes cutting the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency's funding by $707 million, following prior reductions in 2026. The plan says it will "refocus" CISA by eliminating programs tied to misinformation, external engagement, and duplicative school-safety efforts. Analysts and former officials warn this could degrade threat intelligence sharing and coordination for critical infrastructure defense.
