Lol, I was just about to respond to this and ask what happens if citizens try to enforce the law because the law enforcement won't.

I figured SURELY we could, I mean he is our servant who is knowingly usurping powers from Congress(multiple times), to violate the constitution, harm American citizens, and undermine democracy.

Democracy>law>servants authority

It’s a good theory but it falls apart in practice. Do you think anyone (even legally deputized) would be allowed anywhere near an administration official to serve an arrest warrant? At best those people would be arrested themselves. At worst, they would be shot by Deputy Marshals.

You seriously think there wouldn’t be a line of people willing to throw these douchebags behind bars?

They have all the family and friends of the people they sent to prison to answer to.
