Good morning,

Hope y’all are ready to get after it. We have a very full newsletter for you, because we published a freaky amount of stories last night. If you had a quarter for every story we published, you’d have $1.25. This might not be much money, but it’s a freaky amount of reading.

We have Turning Point USA event coverage, the UMN gun range will no longer lease to ICE starting this December, and a Theatre in The Round “Pride and Prejudice” retelling. But wait, there’s more below! Scroll around and find out.

Get to reading,

UMPD terminates outside gun range leasing, ending ICE and outside police department contracts

by Isabella Morden Wheeldon | Campus Reporter | Published Sept. 24, 2025

The University of Minnesota will no longer rent its Rosemount gun range to outside law enforcement groups due to staffing maintenance and potential liability risks, effective Dec. 1, 2025, according to University of Minnesota Police Department Interim Chief Erik Swanson. 

The property will now be exclusively used by UMPD officers.

UMPD leased its gun range to groups outside the University, such as U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and individual renters, for $200 per hour. The University Board of Regents accrued upwards of $18,000 from the Department of Homeland Security from 2022 through 2025, according to public federal spending data.
