Department of Homeland Security Analyst Linked to White Supremacists
--------------------------------------------------------------------

The Atlantic magazine has revealed an immigration policy analyst with
the Department of Homeland Security had direct ties to several prominent
white supremacists, including Richard Spencer. The analyst, Ian M.
Smith, worked at DHS up until last week. The news comes just two weeks
after White House speechwriter Darren Beattie was fired after news broke
that he had spoken at a conference alongside prominent white
nationalists.
