## Key points

- Federal agencies are being told to strengthen religious-liberty considerations.
- The policy follows recent Supreme Court rulings.
- Workplace religious accommodation is a central focus.

## Summary

The Trump administration has instructed federal agencies to give greater weight to religious liberty when drafting regulations, enforcing laws and accommodating employees’ religious beliefs. The move is presented as a significant policy update following major Supreme Court decisions, and could affect how federal bodies balance religious objections against other workplace and regulatory requirements.

The Justice Department’s direction reportedly emphasises employers’ duties under Title VII to reasonably accommodate religious beliefs. Fox News linked the development to a Justice Department inquiry involving Major League Baseball, after players were warned over displaying Bible verses on hats, although the article did not provide the full text or scope of the new guidance.
