Two Maine women who are suing the Department of Homeland Security over alleged First Amendment violations have had a request for emergency relief denied.

The two women sued DHS after ICE agents told them they would be added to a database for domestic terrorists for observing and recording them in January.

A judge on Tuesday said the women’s request for a restraining order against DHS would likely be unenforceable.

He said the suit raises serious constitutional issues that are better aired and resolved on a non-emergency basis.
