You can't do that!" after turning a blind eye to these folks for so long seems hypocritical to me.
But then again - it is an election year. I think that explains why this happened now.

From what I've seen so far, I don't think they just suddenly jumped up and headed in. They have wanted in for a very long time, but their hands were tied. They had no proof of any wrongdoing or breaking of laws.
It wasn't until they received a phone call for help that they were ABLE to go in.
For all the government's power, it was useless to them without an accusation brought against the compound.
