WASHINGTON—Critics insist that President Donald Trump’s order to begin mass deportations of illegal aliens next week can’t be done, but a former immigration court judge and other experts interviewed by The Epoch Times claim that ousting a million or more illegal aliens is quite possible.

“It’s not practical to think that our immigration system at this moment in time could handle” the Trump directive, Jennifer Quigley, director of refugee advocacy for Human Rights First, told the Los Angeles Times.
