Temporarily?? I could've sworn this was a permanent right of US citizens?

  The TRO means that there can be actual punishment, fairly swiftly, for violations, because violations become contempt of court for which the court can issue civil penalties on a near-immediate basis. All the things that make holding government agencies and government agents accountable and laborious are cut through when there is a specific court order and not just general law in play.
