Baltimore ends contract with lawyer accused of Neo-Nazi ties

Updated 5:14 pm, Thursday, August 18, 2016

BALTIMORE (AP) — The city of Baltimore terminated its contract with a lawyer Thursday after a published report said he supported Neo-Nazi groups.

Glen Keith Allen worked on complex litigation for the city's law department, The Baltimore Sun reported. His contract was revoked after the Southern Poverty Law Center published a report saying he had been a dues-paying member of the National Alliance.

The National Alliance says on its website that its members are required to be white, not have a non-white spouse or dependent, and not be Jewish. LGBT people are not allowed to join. "We believe that our people must be united by the common goal of building a better race," the website says.

The SPLC also said Allen bought a ticket to attend a Holocaust-denial conference.
