My bet is, most of them, if they are disrupting a lab, are pretty clearly trespassing, because labs do things like lock doors, and may be breaking and entering, and may be damaging property - all good, healthy state law issues that will get them an unpleasant time with the cops and some punishment from a judge.

I don't know that I'd advocate much more for them; calling secret service or FBI seems excessive. Probably if they were letting exotic diseases out of the lab we'd want those guys, but not if they are just liberating some cancerous mice.
Again, it's the justification not the action that is similar. And the people who they mess with probably would call the secret service (if the secret service cared about such things).
