If a religious practice actually conflicts with a legally mandated security requirement, CBP does not have to accommodate the practice because doing so would create an undue hardship. If a security requirement has been unilaterally imposed by CBP and is not required by law or regulation, the agency will need to decide whether it would be an undue hardship to modify or eliminate the requirement to accommodate an employee who has a religious conflict.
Can a requested accommodation be denied due to security considerations?
