A preliminary injunction makes perfect sense considering how immediate and widely impactful a ban on WeChat would be to the Chinese-American community. The onus is on the Trump administration to show that the immediate national security risk of letting WeChat continue to operate during legal proceedings exceeds the impact on Chinese Americans. Clearly there was no proof to make this case, because this was hardly about national security in the first place. I'm sure the Trump legal team anticipated this, and also know that the injunction will continue into next year, so this entire "ban" is probably a political move. Trump can go into the debates/ads: "look how tough I am on China, Biden will lift the WeChat ban first chance he gets!"
