On June 21, 2018, during an appearance on the Fox News program ''[[The Ingraham Angle]]'', Campos-Duffy defended the Trump administration's controversial practice of separating immigrant families arrested crossing the US border. Speaking of the facilities where the children were housed, she said, "The detention centers are far safer than the journey that these children just came on, and I will say this...people aren't stupid. I spoke to some African-Americans who say, 'Gosh, the conditions of the detention centers are better than some of the projects that I grew up in.'"<ref name=BusinessInsider/><ref>Levine, Jon (June 22, 2018).

In 2017, Campos-Duffy praised Republican congressional candidate [[Greg Gianforte]] of Montana for physically assaulting [[Ben Jacobs (journalist)|Ben Jacobs]], a reporter for ''[[The Guardian]]''.
