Call To Action! Mike Hanson Needs Court Watchers Dec. 14 At Gonzales County Courthouse [aYw8OxszPmk]

Mike Hanson faces trial at the Gonzales County Courthouse on December 14th following his arrest during a protest against DEA civil asset forfeiture. Activists are mobilizing a public presence at 414 St. Joseph Street to monitor the proceedings and challenge the state's handling of First Amendment rights. The case centers on allegations of disturbing a meeting and resisting arrest during Hanson's vocal opposition to federal and state seizure practices.

Supporters argue the Texas justice system is retaliating against Hanson for his public criticism of law enforcement tactics. The scheduled 9 a.m. hearing has become a flashpoint for local civil liberties groups who claim the charges are a pretext to silence dissent. Organizers are specifically calling for court watchers to document the behavior of the presiding judge and the prosecution team during the trial. This mobilization follows a series of demonstrations targeting the DEA's authority to seize private property without criminal convictions.

Mike Hanson remains a central figure in the regional fight against asset forfeiture, often appearing at public meetings to confront officials directly. The atmosphere at the Gonzales County Courthouse is expected to be tense as legal observers and local residents gather to support the defendant. This trial represents a critical moment for the First Amendment in rural Texas.
