He had spent the morning there observing immigration hearings and told an Associated Press reporter he had intended to accompany some immigrants out of the building. Footage of the arrest shows an agent telling Lander: 'You're obstructing'.

I completely get what your going for.

But...

You know where this road ends? You have a big mouth now, and I get it, I get it so very much but this ends with thousands if not millions of dead Americans in a civil war.

If you have any questions about how that would work out, maybe ask Yugoslavia where these roads end and if it was all worth it.

I'm not saying you should lie on your back and let them walk over you, I'm saying you want to thread this violence needle extremely careful or you WILL get more blood than you bargained for.
