President Donald Trump's complaint that he has problems with judges who don't like his immigration and deportation policies drew laughter from members at Wednesday's Cabinet meeting.
Trump called out Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Border Czar Tom Homan for doing an "amazing job" getting undocumented immigrants deported.
The administration has been under fire for deporting migrants for being "criminals" without Constitutional due process.
"For two months in a row, we have set the all time records for the lowest number of illegal border crossings ever recorded," Trump said. "The number of illegal border crossers released into the United States is down 99.999 percent. That is usually 100%. So, I think it's an amazing tribute...it's an amazing job actually, and it was done very quickly."
"We officially designated Tren de Aragua, MS-13, and the Mexican drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations, and we're expelling these monsters from our country rapidly, and working with the Department of Justice. Pam, you're doing fantastic," he said, calling out Attorney General Pam Bondi.

"Your people are amazing. We're having some judge problems," Trump said, eliciting laughs from the Cabinet.
"We're having some judges that don't like, you know, killers, murderers, being thrown out of the country. So, I don't know what their problem is, but we have a little difficulty."
Trump then claimed that immigration, not the economy, was the reason he won the election.
"We won on the basis of a great border and of getting criminals out of our country. That was why we won every swing state. We won by millions of votes. We won everything, every metric. We won by a lot. It was a massive victory, and we won, I think, largely because of this issue. I put this issue as number one issue, and they don't want us to do what we're supposed to do. And I don't think that can be. I hope the Supreme Court is going to fully understand what's going on. We have to get the criminals out of our country and that's the basis under which we won the election."
