I definitely remember DOGE gutting CISA. Other cuts were not always due to DOGE. A good chunk of the FBI's computer security and counter intelligence people got reassigned to immigration enforcement. The committee investigating the US cell network hacks got cut extensively but I don't remember who did it.
