A day before announced ICE raids on immigrant communities anti-fascist and anarchist Willem Van Spronsen was killed by Tacoma Police during an arson attack on the buses used to round up immigrants. The police say he was armed with a rifle of unspecified type.
He was a member of the Puget Sound John Brown Gun Club, “an anti-fascist, anti-racist, pro-worker community defense organization committed to accountable, community-led defense in the Puget Sound (aka Salish Sea) region of western Washington, in the Pacific Northwest, USA.”
He sent a written manifesto explaining his reasoning.
It is not clear whether he prevented any ICE raids but there were none reported in Tacoma where this action took place.
