When Malcolm Gladwell presented NPR's Throughline podcast with a Peabody Award,
he praised it for its historical and moral clarity.
On Throughline, we take you back in time to the origins of what's in the news,
like presidential power, aging, and evangelicalism.

The Supreme Court has kept in place a temporary block that prevents the Trump administration from deporting migrants that it accuses of being members of a Venezuelan gang.
As NPR's Adrian Florida reports,
the court said migrants targeted under the 18th century wartime law must get due process.
The case was brought by two Venezuelan men at a northern Texas detention center who were set to be deported last month under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798.
The ACLU filed an emergency lawsuit and blocked the deportations.
The Supreme Court has rejected the government's request to be allowed to deport the migrants or any others in northern Texas,
saying they must get more time to challenge their deportations.
The 7-2 majority wrote that giving them about 24 hours to do that,
quote, surely does not pass muster.
The court has not yet ruled on whether the government's use of the Alien Enemies Act is legal.
