Writing
In an al.com story about a federal immigration prisoner being held in Etowah County Alabama:
Linares, who claims he is an Orthodox Sephardic Jew, has argued he is not being served kosher meals, a key part of his religious faith and practice. That denial, he contends, violates U.S. law.

     Wonder if the reporter, writing a different story, would say a prisoner claims he is a Christian.
