Congress just passed fiscal 2026 appropriations for most of the Department of Homeland Security in May, but lawmakers are already moving forward with crafting a 2027 budget for DHS.
\nThe House Appropriations Committee\u2019s homeland security subcommittee passed its version of the 2027 DHS spending bill on Thursday. The Republican-led committee passed the bill along party lines.
\nThe DHS spending bill\u2019s specifics, particularly around border security and immigration enforcement agencies, could change as Republican leaders move forward with a new reconciliation bill.
\nEarly Friday morning, the Senate passed the $70 billion reconciliation measure. It would fund Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Patrol for the next three years, through the end of President Donald Trump\u2019s term.]]><\/p>\n

\u201cNext week the House will likely take it up, but reconciliation is not the way we should fund regular operations of agencies,\u201d Homeland security subcommittee Chairman Mark Amodei (R-Nev.) said at Friday\u2019s hearing.
\nICE and CBP are technically still under a lapse in appropriations. Those agencies were not funded under the 2026 DHS appropriations agreement that passed in May. But both still have money from the 2025 reconciliation bill, the \u201cOne Big Beautiful Bill Act,\u201d to fund most of their respective operations.
\nWhile reconciliation and further disagreements over immigration enforcement will likely complicate its path forward, the House subcommittee\u2019s legislation is still an important marker of where DHS budget priorities could be headed in the next appropriations cycle. Here are three highlights in the 2027 bill:
\nCISA budget
\nThe subcommittee\u2019s bill includes $2.4 billion for the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency next fiscal year. That\u2019s $400 million more than what the Trump administration requested for CISA\u2019s budget.
\nThe proposed CISA funding includes $694 million for cyber operations, $378 million federal and critical infrastructure cybersecurity programs, and $31 million to hire \u201cmission critical positions to counter threats from foreign adversaries, such as China,\u201d according to a summary of the budget provided by the House Appropriations Committee.
\nCISA is hiring again after losing roughly one-third of its staff over the past year. During a House Homeland Security Committee hearing earlier this week, Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin said CISA needs about 600 more staff than it has today.
\nDHS IG budget
\nThe House bill also rejects the Trump administration\u2019s proposal to cut the DHS inspector general\u2019s budget. The appropriations measure would allocate $227 million for the DHS Office of the Inspector General. That\u2019s largely a flat budget for the IG when accounting for extra, multiyear funding Congress passed in 2026 for oversight of immigration detention and last year\u2019s reconciliation bill.]]><\/p>\n

The White House\u2019s request, meanwhile, would cut the DHS OIG\u2019s budget to $198 million in 2027. Budget justification documents show that would require the IG\u2019s office to cut 85 full-time employees.
\nThe proposed cut would \u201cimpact the OIG\u2019s capacity to perform oversight of the Department\u2019s operations,\u201d the documents state. That includes its ability to \u201crespond to the risk of fraud, waste, and abuse in DHS programs and operations; undertake congressionally requested audits, inspections, and investigations; and assist the department in accomplishing its public safety and national security mission,\u201d the budget documents continue.
\nFEMA grants
\nThe spending measure would allocate $34.1 billion to the Federal Emergency Management Agency. That includes $28.3 billion for FEMA\u2019s Disaster Relief Fund.
\nThe House subcommittee largely rejected the White House\u2019s proposal to cut FEMA\u2019s non-disaster grant programs by $1.3 billion. The bill allocates:<\/p>\n

$506.5 million for the State Homeland Security Grant Program, instead of the $351 million in the Trump administration\u2019s budget request.
\n$599 million under the Urban Area Security Initiative, instead of the $415.5 million in the budget request.
\n$315 million for the Nonprofit Security Grant Program, instead of the $274.5 million in the request.
\n$702 million for Assistance to Firefighter Grants, rather than $648 million in the budget request.<\/p>\n

The bill also allocates $415.3 million for FEMA\u2019s training, exercises, technical assistance and other programs, more than double what the administration had proposed. Those programs include the U.S. Fire Administration, the Emergency Management Institute and the Center for Domestic Preparedness.
