Court Rules Palestine Action Designation Unlawful

The U.K. High Court ruled Friday that the government's decision to designate the protest group Palestine Action as a terrorist organization was unlawful, while also the White House fired a U.S. attorney the same day he was sworn in. In other news, an au pair is facing sentencing for her role in a murder-for-hire plot, and a porn site was fined £800,000 for failing to implement proper age verification. The search for the missing mother of "Today" show host Savannah Guthrie continues.

The High Court's decision regarding Palestine Action, announced Friday, stated that the group's activities did not meet the "level, scale and persistence" required to justify its proscription as a terrorist organization. Judges Victoria Sharp, Jonathan Swift, and Karen Steyn determined the government's decision was "disproportionate," according to CBS News. Palestine Action co-founder Huda Ammori called the ruling "a monumental victory," as reported by CBS News. However, the ban remains in place pending an appeal.

In the United States, President Donald Trump's administration fired a U.S. attorney on the same day he was sworn in, according to Fox News. Donald T. Kinsella was appointed by a board of judges for the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of New York and was sworn in on Wednesday, but was subsequently removed from the post. Deputy U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche confirmed the firing on X, as reported by Fox News.

Meanwhile, in Virginia, an au pair is awaiting sentencing after pleading guilty to a murder-for-hire plot. Juliana Peres Magalhães confessed to scheming with her employer-turned-lover to kill his wife and another man, according to ABC News. She testified that she shot Joseph Ryan, as reported by ABC News. The sentencing will take place at the Fairfax County courthouse.

In the U.K., the media regulator Ofcom fined the porn company Kick Online Entertainment SA £800,000 for failing to implement proper age verification measures, as reported by BBC Technology. The company did not have "highly effective" methods to check that UK visitors were over 18, according to Ofcom. The company has since implemented age checks, but was not complying with the law between July and December 2025. Additionally, message board 4chan will be fined £520,000 for failing to comply with the UK's Online Safety Law, according to its lawyer.

Finally, the search for Nancy Guthrie, the mother of "Today" show host Savannah Guthrie, continues. She was reportedly kidnapped from her Tucson, Arizona, home on February 1, as reported by ABC News. The FBI released photos and videos of an armed person in a mask in front of her home, appearing to tamper with a security camera, according to ABC News.
