If a Mage in the cells interrupts your tactics card, what happens to that card, and can a Defend card stop the jailbreak?

The designer confirmed the interruption order and that the jailbreak itself cannot be defended.

The jailbreak resolves immediately, and the first action of your card still resolves. You then choose whether to keep the card's remaining actions or give them up to play a Defend card. Other players may defend against the Mage and the escaping heroes, but cannot interrupt your card, and a Defend card cannot stop the jailbreak itself.
