WTF! UNACCEPTABLE! If staffing is an issue, then have someone live at the $*&# shelter! Especially if there's weather on the way!
Ask 8 Investigates: Why isn't the #PortlandME warming shelter open tonight?
Despite #blizzard conditions, Portland's emergency #WarmingShelter won't be open overnight Monday
by Norah Hogan, February 23, 2026
" 'While we are not able to activate the warming shelter tonight, we understand the interest in opening the shelter on more #ExtremeWeather nights that fall outside the existing thresholds, and will explore the ability to do this in the future,' said city spokesperson Jessica Grondin. 'We will continue to look for ways to strengthen the model moving forward.' "

While out and about in #PortlandME, I came across this sign.
The late #JoeSoley was a notorious #SlumLord in #PortlandME. It seems his son #DavidSoley and grandson #JoshSoley are in cahoots with #ICE! David Soley might be connected to #OneCityCenter (where ICE has had an office since 2020). Josh Soley is the owner (and David the manager) of the #ICEFacility in #ScarboroughME.
Here is some info I found on Reddit...

"No ICE, No Josh Soley/ CORE
A recent post brought attention to the fact that Josh Soley is the owner of the #ICEKidnapping facility in Scarborough that is putting kids and their families in cages.
This fuckface is worse than the ICE agents terrorizing our town. He is akin to a #Nazi profiteer. I’m all for denying service to ICE agents, but can we please step up the boycott and refusal to allow Josh and his real estate company CORE to do business as usual? I bartend in town and I will quit before I serve him or his family. I will also donate to anyone who can make posters they can share and I promise to help plaster them all over town."
