In her tweet from February 9, 2025, she expressed that it was "laughable to hear Democrats... criticize President Trump’s advisor @ElonMusk because he wasn’t elected..."

In another tweet posted on February 9, 2025, Congresswoman Van Duyne criticized sanctuary cities. She remarked that "It’s painfully clear that sanctuary cities endanger families and law enforcement officers."
