Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Ryland Barton. The Department of Homeland Security says it will review the body camera footage of Border Patrol agents at the scene of the shooting of 37 year old Alex Preddy in Minneapolis. As NPR's Ximena Bustill reports, the second F shooting by federal agents in Minnesota has raised questions about training and body camera use.

0:16

There is no law mandating the use of body cameras by federal immigration agents. Any such mandate would need to come from Congress. The House recently passed a spending bill that would provide DHS with $20 million for these cameras, but the bill only mandates that the money be spent. It does not mandate the use of the cameras. And now the broader package is in limbo. Senate Democrats are seemingly more resistant to pass the package package, which would fund the entire federal government as well. After this latest shooting. The investigation into Preddy's death is being led by Homeland Security Investigations, a division of Immigration and Customs Enforcement and supported by the FBI. Customs and Border Protection will also do an internal investigation. Ximena Bustillo, NPR News.

US Population growth slowed sharply last year thanks to a steep drop in immigration. NPR's Scott Horsley reports on the latest figure from the Census Bureau.

2:06

The US population grew by 1.8 million people during the 12 months ending last June. That's about half the growth rate of the previous year. The downshift reflects a historic drop in net migration as fewer people enter the country through legal channels and others are forcibly removed. Census forecasters say if current as current trends continue, immigration could fall by another million people in the current year. Meanwhile, the native born population is growing slowly with births outnumbering deaths by only about half a million during the year ending last June. That's less than half the natural increase in years before the pandemic. Scott Horsley, NPR News, Washington.
