A TRO is just to hold the status quo in place while the opposing party has an opportunity to respond to the case (in this case just two weeks).

A preliminary injunction is a longer-term pause while the case is heard (often many months or even a few years) - and it requires the judge to find that the plaintiff is likely to win on the merits and would be irreparably harmed if they didn't receive it.

The recent SCOTUS ruling was essentially that a single district judge could not see a case with one plaintif and issue a nationwide injunction blocking executive action. But in this case, the single plaintiff is already a national organization. So blocking executive action against that one plaintiff is close to a nationwide decision already
