The plight of Bevelyn Williams and 20 other pro-life Americans who are hoping and praying for pardons from President Donald Trump continues.
In a confusing ordeal yesterday, Bevelyn’s husband Rickey posted on X that he was on his way to pick Beveleyn up from federal prison, only to find out that she had not yet been pardoned or released. Today, Rickey says Beveleyn is confused why people imprisoned for their roles in the January 6 protest have been pardoned and released, but she remains in federal prison.
“I just got off the phone with my wife @MrsBevelynW. J6ers that were there with her in FCI just got released. She is still there waiting and she is honestly confused. I am confused as well as to why she hasn’t been pardoned along with the other 20 Pro-Lifers?” he wrote on X this morning.
Rickey believes that the pardon is forthcoming but wishes communication about it and details of her release from the Alabama prison was improved.
“There isn’t uncertainty but communication is important,” he added.
Rickey added that officials at the prison told him to go back home.
“This is what they told me before Trump signed the pardon for J6ers as I was waiting for my wife. I was told to LEAVE the property! That it was a federal holiday and they were understaffed! Not just that, we haven’t heard much about the 21 Pro-Lifers still locked up in Federal Prison or much about their pardons just yet including my wife,” he explained.
Williams, who was found guilty of violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act for blocking access to an abortion clinic in 2020, is in the process of appealing appealing her sentence of 41 months in prison.
Williams was specifically accused of blocking entrance to an abortion business and preventing a volunteer from entering. As she blocked the door, according to the court, a staff member tried to open for the volunteer, and Williams leaned against the door, hurting the staff member’s hand — an injury that clearly didn’t warrant three years in federal prison.
Bevelyn’s husband Rickey announced yesterday on X that he was in the process of picking her up from the prison.
“I haven’t gotten news that President Trump pardoned my wife just yet. He is going to but I haven’t gotten word but I know she will be released soon,” Mr. Williams told LifeNews. “I know that is coming.”
Williams called her three-year sentence devastating, saying that, “Not only is this bond extensive for the accused crime, but [Judge Jennifer Rochan] made it very clear in the courtroom that she was going to [make an] example out of me. The concern of being a young mother, and a stay-at-home mother, was completely disregarded.”
Williams expressed concern over the length of the ruling as it would separate her from her toddler-aged daughter. The judge had told her before the sentence “that I was young and that I would not be defined by my sentence, before making a conscious decision to take me away from my two-year-old daughter for three years.”
Bevelyn had a traumatic past before she started her pro-life ministry, and she was abused at a young age, dropped out of high school at 15, used drugs, had two abortions, and was arrested for money laundering in an attempt to pay her rent. In prison, she met a woman who inspired her to change her life and surrender her life to the Lord. Soon after Williams started living her life as a Christian and eventually felt called to start a ministry.
Williams’ ministry, At the Well, provides spiritual formation for Christians and physical aid for the needy. Their mission statement is “to evangelize/minister wherever God leads to tell people about the love of Jesus Christ.” Some of their mandates include to “Boldly and unapologetically preach the gospel on the streets and public square,” to “Speak up, stand for Life and demand that abortion be abolished,” and to “Demand righteousness & justice through cultural & spiritual agitation.”
Ben Bregquam has been at the prison this morning, with Eli Crane, trying to get them released. Prison people are making excuses for why they won’t do it.
Personally, I hope Trump shows up with armed troops and busts them out.
Trump has been president about 27 hours. He’s signed probably hundreds of orders, and I’m sure research has to done on every pardon.
Cool your jets for awhile.
PING AND UPDATE!!!
Okay okay I’m breathing in a paper bag right now...let me calm down.
Given her past criminal record, her case should be looked at more closely.
But I don’t recall any Trump promises on these cases, he always indicated J6 victims were a priority. I know a lot of folks asked for these people to also be pardoned, but did Trump ever say that he would?
Was there a pardon for her category? Were the names of those pardons not specified?
It doesn’t appear her prosecution was part of J6.
I didn’t even know she had a past criminal record. Plus she was only sent for protesting abortion. Her pardon was for that and she should be out.
The D.C commies will probably not back down or they will drag their feet without a habeas corpus court order, but what D.C. court will issue the order?
I fully expect some king-sized lawsuits to result out of this whole left-based fiasco. And I hope they get their butts reamed.
It looks to me that she was convicted of a different crime, not 1/6 “crimes.
When did she block a clinic? Is that part of the list?
I don’t know about her category, but apparently prison officials are trying to slow walk some of the J6 releases.

Are we going to have to go there and get them out ourselves? Or stage some hefty protests. It might take a day or so. We’re the officers working yesterday?
I suspect you are correct.
“When did she block a clinic? Is that part of the list?”
I don’t know when but you know me I’ve posted about her in the past. I’ve posted about all the pro lifers that were put in prison for protesting the abortion clinics
I was notified yesterday by other FReepers that she was on the list.
Pardon requests were made for nearly 2 dozen pro-lifers targeted by the Biden DOJ for violating the FACE Act. Have not heard the status of those.
Somebody needs to hang over this, if true.
I don’t think this one is as simple as just praying in front of an abortion clinic; she used threats and force to block entrance; and previously was arrested for money laundering:

She has been pardoned, but the dark side has decided to resist releasing the prisoners that Trump pardoned.
