CISA employees removed in early 2025 could get their jobs back with back pay. Future firings and fund transfers at CISA would require a new act of Congress. DOGE employees would be banned from working at CISA on the federal dime.
Modern Action explains legislation in plain English, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.
Protecting America’s Cybersecurity Act is a House bill in committee. The latest recorded action: Referred to the Subcommittee on Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Protection.
Latest action on H.R. 3026: Referred to the Subcommittee on Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Protection.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects career civil servants at CISA who do the day-to-day work of protecting U.S. cybersecurity and critical infrastructure. It also affects DOGE employees who might be assigned to work at CISA, and it touches on the executive branch's ability to manage CISA's workforce and budget.
Why this matters: CISA is the lead federal agency defending against cyberattacks on government systems, elections, and critical infrastructure like power grids and water systems. Losing experienced cybersecurity workers weakens those defenses. This bill is a direct response to workforce disruptions at CISA and aims to keep the agency fully staffed and funded so it can do its job.
You do not have to start with a blank letter. Modern Action turns the bill, your position, and the relevant congressional context into a message you can edit and send. The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
