1. All sentences are being appealed

...and a sensible judge will most likely reduce their sentences. The protests for which these people were arrested got fairly violent, and some shots were fired at ICE. I understand the motivation, but they went too far. Even so, the sentences dished out by this Trump-appointed judge were far out of line and too extreme. Still, I think this is a rather hot-button issue and most elected Dems are staying away from it. There has to be some room to protest without sounding like you agree with ICE (or government agents) getting shot. It's a fine line that expert politicians should be able to navigate.
