Britain's High Court ruled Friday that the government's ban on the protest group Palestine Action was unlawful, though the ban will remain in place pending an appeal, according to NPR Politics. The court's decision comes amidst a backdrop of political developments, including President Trump's actions and policies, as highlighted by multiple news sources.
The High Court's ruling, delivered on February 13, 2026, found the government's decision to designate Palestine Action as a terrorist organization to be illegal. However, the ban will remain in effect while the government prepares for an appeal. The case has drawn attention to the government's approach to protest groups.
Meanwhile, President Trump's actions continue to be a focal point. According to Vox, Trump has faced setbacks, including a failed prosecution of six Democrats. The article notes that Trump has yet to fully realize his authoritarian goals, "but not for lack of trying."
Trump's policies, particularly regarding immigration, have also been scrutinized. Vox reported on the impact of Trump's immigration enforcement, noting that support for mass deportation has waned. The article highlighted the real-world consequences of these policies, including the arrest of a neighbor by Border Patrol, as detailed in "They backed Trump. Then Border Patrol arrested their neighbor. What now?"
Other news sources, such as Variety, focused on international issues, including the depiction of Iran's Evin Prison in the Berlin film "Roya." The director, Mahnaz Mohammadi, discussed the importance of portraying the story through "displacement, silence and rupture."
The news also covers President Trump's comments on Iran and the deployment of a second aircraft carrier group to the Middle East, according to Vox. Senator Fetterman's vote on a funding bill also made headlines.
