Trump's Budget Proposal Slams CISA with $491M Cut, Accusing it of Censorship
2025-05-06
President Trump's proposed 2026 budget includes a $491 million (17%) cut to the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), framing it as a purge of the so-called "censorship industrial complex." The White House accuses CISA of prioritizing combating misinformation over protecting critical systems. While CISA faces significant cuts, the overall Department of Homeland Security budget receives a substantial boost for increased deportations and border wall construction. The TSA and FEMA also face budget reductions. This proposal, however, requires Congressional approval and is expected to face strong opposition.
