Thankful. So very thankful. 🤍 I don’t take a second of this journey for granted. Thank you all so much for reading my book - my love letter to my family, my clients, and myself. #AKnockatMidnight #AmazonBooks

Today is my Freedomversary. Eight years ago, President Trump granted me clemency and gave me a second chance at life. After nearly 22 years in prison, I walked out the gates and into a future I had prayed for but could no longer see. I will never forget that moment. Prison took many things from me, including years with my family and the loss of my parents and a son. But I never lost hope or faith that my life still had purpose. The gift of freedom came with a responsibility: to help others. Over the last eight years, I’ve advocated for second chances, supported criminal justice reform, and now serve as White House Pardon Czar. From a prison cell to the White House, this journey has been possible through God’s grace and President Trump’s courage. Every day, I strive to honor that gift by helping others find hope and a path forward. Thank you to everyone who prayed for me, believed in me, and supported me along the way. And to God be the glory. 🙏🏽❤️ #Freedomversary

ALL GRACE This Thanksgiving my heart is especially full after seeing so many people finally return home to their families — including Anabel Valenzuela. During the nearly two decades she spent behind bars, the babies she left at home grew into adults. Seeing this mother reunited with her sons after all these years is a Thanksgiving miracle in every sense. I am also deeply grateful to see David Gentile heading home to his young children, and to see the Sotelo brothers, Edward and Joe, celebrating the holiday with their beloved 88-year-old mother after nearly three decades apart. These are miracles of mercy, and each one reminds us of the extraordinary power of second chances. And this year, many others made it home as well — mothers, fathers, sons, and daughters who now get to rebuild their lives and rejoin their families. God and President Trump @POTUS have delivered so many victories for families this year. I am profoundly grateful for the President’s wisdom and leadership, and for David Warrington @counswarrington and the entire team who work faithfully every day to help bring people home. And we are not done yet. My hope and prayer is that even more families will be reunited before this year comes to a close. Every life restored is a blessing. Every family reunited is a miracle worth celebrating. All grace. 🙏🏽🇺🇸

Rest in power, Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee. Her support was crucial in helping secure clemency for Sharanda Jones. This photo with her & Sharanda captures the joy of our meeting after Sharanda's release. Her legacy of change and dedication to justice will forever inspire us.

And so while we hold all impacted by incarceration in our hearts every day –– we're holding on a little tighter this #MothersDay weekend. Wishing a warm and connected Mother's Day to everyone who knows what that separation feels like. We see you, we love you 💜🫂

150,000. That's how many mothers in America will be separated from their children by the harsh reality of incarceration on this #MothersDay. For all of these GEMs, tomorrow the weight of this separation will feel even heavier.
