Questions his due process role
Trump was asked about the Fifth Amendment right to due process under the law, which guarantees certain rights to people accused of committing of a crime.
Critics have said his deportation plan has violated this process, and that his administration has removed people who have not yet been charged with any crime, and therefore have not had any opportunity to present a legal defence.
"Don't you need to uphold the Constitution of the United States as president?" asked Welker, suggesting that he could be disregarding the presidential oath of office, which requires him to "preserve, protect and defend the Constitution".
Trump responded: "I don't know. I have to respond by saying, again, I have brilliant lawyers that work for me, and they are going to obviously follow what the Supreme Court said."
Last month, the Supreme Court ruled that the White House must work to "facilitate" the return of a migrant who was accidentally deported to jail in El Salvador. The Trump administration has argued that they lack the authority to force the Central American country to return him to the US.
Trump was also asked about his decision to declare an immigration state of emergency on his first day in office, and whether the border is now "secure".
"We have the most secure border we've ever had," he said, leading Welker to question why the emergency declaration remains in place, after immigration figures showed that illegal crossings have plummeted to the lowest levels in decades.
He claimed that the emergency is in the court system, not at the border.
"The big emergency right now is that we have thousands of people that we want to take out, and we have some judges that want everybody to go to court," he said.
"It's an overall emergency on immigration," Trump told NBC, adding that he has no plans to lift the order in the near future.
