For those of us on the political right, it's hard to understand why protesters in multiple US cities risk arrest or worse to prevent deportations of people who are in the country illegally, and in many cases are criminals. We simply think people like Renee Good are insane to block armed federal officers from doing their job, in freezing weather no less. Leftists are from Venus and conservatives are from Mars.
