Unfortunately if they want to they will. The objective of these types of operations is to seed terror. Cooking up some fake justification is the least of their problems.
Their actual problems are:
1. They are extremely ridiculously outnumbered - like 6000 to 1 with a predominantly armed populous - so if it ever comes to actual civil unrest, US federal agents are going to slaughtered like pigs. They know this, and this is why there haven't been any WACO like events in the past 25 years. There may be some cynical elements who WANT to start a civil war, but for the most part they're terrified of it.
2. They can't convict anyone without getting it past a jury, and in most jurisdictions the juries just will not go for their crap. In 2012 or so when those guys took over a national park in Oregon and EXCHANGED GUNFIRE with federal agents, the agents backed down, and then arrested them later on, only to have the jury acquit. This is a big moral killer for them.
3. The wrong kind of attention could be a big problem for them. What's supposed to be a little visit could turn into getting filmed, getting thrown out for trespassing, having the sheriff show up and ask them what they're doing, and then all of this going viral on twitter in an election year.
So really what puts you at the most risk is being "easy pray" :
* Being unarmed
* Living in a jurisdiction where the sheriff is friendly to them
* Working for big corporations where they have connections and can easily ask them to fire you
* Doing some stupid criminal shit like drugs that they can use to lock you up if they want to
etc.
