# Senate Republicans Propose $78.2 Billion DHS Budget

Senate Republicans proposed **$78.2 billion** for the Department of Homeland Security in fiscal 2027 appropriations legislation, including **$11.6 billion** for Customs and Border Protection—a slight increase over CBP’s fiscal 2026 enacted level. The proposal is not expected to become law as drafted and serves as an opening position in funding negotiations ahead of a possible government shutdown after December 11, 2026. Contractors should treat the figures as planning signals, not enacted funding or a guarantee of contract opportunities.

- DHS and CBP contractors can use the proposed amounts to inform fiscal 2027 scenario planning, while distinguishing the proposal from enacted appropriations.
- The proposed CBP increase may signal continued funding attention to border operations, but does not by itself confirm specific procurements or contract requirements.
- With a possible shutdown after December 11, agencies and contractors should account for funding uncertainty in work planning and avoid assuming proposed funding will be available.
