Daily Breakdown

Hey everybody,
Today marks the last day of classes and the last class I will likely ever attend. I try not to get too sentimental here, but it is a peculiar feeling to get ready for the real last day of school. For all of you out there heading into (or by the time this goes out, finishing up) your last ever day of school, I guess we did it?
I don’t know. The endless 8 a.m. will start for us all sooner or later. A little quicker than we bargained for, but about on time for the fresh-faced ambitions of four years ago. Anyway, have a good last day of class. I hope finals treat ya well.
Take it easy,
Spencer White | Editor-in-Chief | [email protected]

The University of Minnesota has leased out a Rosemount gun range it owns to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement since 2022, according to public federal spending data.
The University of Minnesota Police Department has operated the gun range for over 40 years to help train UMPD officers. ICE officials, as well as other local and federal law enforcement agencies, use the area for training.
ICE’s contract has netted the University around $18,000 to lease out the gun range, a contract which ends in May. The University is the nation’s only university actively leasing its gun range to ICE, the Minnesota Reformer reported.
The University did not answer whether the contract would be renewed.
University spokesperson Amy Tolson said in a statement that the University has an existing agreement and allows agents to reserve and use space in the range.
“There are numerous law enforcement agencies with similar use agreements for the range that include federal, state and local organizations,” Tolson said.
