For accuracy, anarchism is a philosophy not an ideology. Anarchism is a belief that all ideology is bad and that all forms of government are incongruent to individual freedom. Anarchism promotes the dissolution of all forms of collective governance.
What we have seen with these and other protests is that Antifa, the anarchists in question, have been focused on doing nothing more than engaging in property damage, inciting violence, and yes, starting fires (arson). These are not people who care about the issues being protested, they are there only to stir up the ####. So yes, they should be arrested "for their actions." If they want to participate in a peaceful protest, they should be left alone. But pull out one spray can, break one window, or set one fire, and in cuffs you go.
