Defending themselves if the feds attempt to end the standoff. If law enforcement goes in, which would be with the intent to arrest them, they have said they will be violent.

They didn't seize private property. They did take some actions on state/local land that was reversed, but here was no seizure of private land. Just revocation of access to fed lands.
