A smartphone was there to capture the moment 33-year-old Bevelyn Williams was reunited with her two-year-old daughter after being freed from federal prison by President Donald Trump - and I dare you not to cry.

Williams was convicted by the Biden Justice Department for protesting at an abortion clinic.

Williams, a pro-life activist and a black woman, had been sentenced to three and a half years in federal prison under the Biden administration for violating the FACE Act, a Clinton-era law that criminalizes preventing a person from accessing a medical facility and which has been weaponized to persecute pro-lifers from praying, demonstrating, or offering life-saving services to women outside abortion clinics.
The charges stemmed from a 2020 incident in which Williams used her body to block the entrance to a Manhattan abortion mill, preventing at least one worker from getting inside. (Funnily enough, that was the same year thousands of Black Lives Matter thugs were allowed to burn down cities, torch buildings, assault police, and loot businesses, while Kamala Harris raised money to bail them out of jail.)

While Williams probably would have faced legal consequences for her actions on a local level, Biden’s DOJ slapped on felony conspiracy charges based on the FACE Act to compound her sentence, leaving her to face more than three years in federal prison, far beyond what Antifa activists have gotten for burning down police precincts and destroying property.
But not anymore. Williams walked away from prison a cleared woman Thursday night after Trump pardoned her and 22 other pro-lifers unfairly and disproportionately targeted by the Biden administration for their efforts to save unborn children from being slaughtered. While signing the Executive Order pardoning the group, which also included several elderly grandparents, Trump called it a “great honor” to pardon them, adding that they “never should have been prosecuted” in the first place.
