Willem Van Spronsen was an Activist, Father and folk Singer/song writer based here in the Pacific Northwest.

In 2019, reporting illuminated the evil, still-ongoing process of holding kids in cages separate from family at the local Tacoma-based ICE facility.

Will gave his life successfully firebombing their deportation vans, stalling deportations for months.

His final statement was and is very moving.
