“I was praising God.”

That’s how Bevelyn Williams reacted when she learned she would be pardoned by President Donald Trump.

Williams, who was sentenced to 41 months in prison for an alleged violation of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act (FACE Act), has gone viral in recent days after video footage showed her exiting prison and greeting her 2-year-old child and husband.

The clip, which was widely shared online and shows Williams giddily embracing her toddler, resonated with thousands—a response she called “emotionally overwhelming.”

“When I look at that video now, I tear up, because, I’m like, ‘Wow … I’m back with my baby,’” she told CBN News. “Like, a part of me was gone, and, so, to just watch the fullness of me be reconnected … I’m still trying to take it in.”

Before Williams’ release, she said she hoped Trump would help her.

“I knew Trump wasn’t gonna let me sit in that prison,” she said. “If he won, he was going to get me. I knew that.”


Within hours of Trump’s inauguration, the president began the process of pardoning Williams and 22 others who were convicted of FACE Act violations.

For Williams, the ability to exit prison after serving just over three months was incredible.

“I was praising God,” she said. “I was in the middle of my cell block, screaming, praying in the Spirit and praising God, because, once again, He delivered.”

Williams recalled just one week before the pardoning feeling the Lord impress on her heart the Old Testament story of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego.

“They were thrown in that furnace, but what was scheduled to happen to them did not come to pass,” she said. “And [God] was basically weighing it on me, like, ‘Listen, it’s not going to happen. You getting out and seeing your daughter at five years old and missing most of her younger years, it’s not going to happen.’”
