The protests have opposed ICE and interfered with their operations. The protests have a purpose and a goal, which is to help people avoid a chaotic mismanaged abuse of federal authority on immigration. All efforts by protesters should be to further people's safety and well-being.

Protesters should not attempt to "go to war" with the US military. You can't help anyone if you are dead.

“Angelenos—don’t engage in violence and give the administration an excuse to inflict all the damage they have been inflicting carte blanche for months on end,” said Bass, adding that Trump and his team are just looking for a reason to respond with violence, as they would have done whether or not any of this happened. “Don’t fan the flame that has been fanned behind the scenes at the White House since day one of Trump’s term in office. You wouldn’t want them to start abducting people in broad daylight and deporting them, would you? No, so let’s not become scapegoats for the horrific violations of civil liberties that would have eventually landed at our doorstep regardless.”

You also can't help someone if you've been illegally detained and then illegally, extraordinarily rendered to a foreign gulag.
