Public arrests of politicians has a lot of risks, and could turn the public against POTUS and the military, and cause a real war between leftist countries who come to their aid. That would be the very last step, to mop up, after the head of the international power structure is decapitated.

IMO, it might even be a better idea to just leave the politician pawns alone and to mainly go after the anonymous elite in secret only.
