They keep doing it because the consequences are not harsh enough yet, and they enjoy the protection of Democrat politicians and NGO-backed funding. Without support from the Democrat Party and global non-profits, the Anti-ICE movement would not exist. In other words, they're astroturf.
Of course, that doesn't stop them from causing all kinds of trouble. Federal agents moved within the past 48 hours to break down a make-shift "autonomous zone" built by leftist activists around the New Jersey Delaney Hall ICE facility in Newark.

Tear gas and other less-lethal means were deployed after protesters tried to establish encampments and barricades to block vehicles from entering or leaving the site.

The primary NGO organizing the NJ actions isThe New Jersey Alliance for Immigrant Justice (NJAIJ), which has been heavily involved in the Delaney protests. These state level NGOs are often two or three layers away from larger organizers and, more often than not, money from globalist foundations like Open Society, Ford Foundation and the Rockefeller Foundation is flowing into their coffers.
The strategies employed by activists have become standard - Incite, provoke, sabotage and disrupt until agents respond with force, then let the establishment media cherry pick footage to paint ICE as the villains while Democrat politicians "demand access and answers". It is a finely tuned and well organized agitation operation.
Democrat representatives continue to spread lies about the intended scope of deportations - Claiming that the operations are "not supposed to target people without criminal records". So, let's be clear:
The Trump Administration has always said that deportations will apply to all illegal immigrants, not just those that committed crimes after entering the country. At no point has Trump said immigration enforcement would be limited to aliens with rap sheets. By extension, all illegal migrants are, by definition, criminals.
Democrats have knowingly persisted with this false narrative in order to inject it into the public discourse. It has no validity, and the majority of the populacecontinues to supportmass deportations.
