Washington (CNN) A federal judge in California restored his decision to block a Trump administration rule that dramatically limits the ability of Central American migrants to claim asylum after the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals narrowed the injunction last month.

The rule, from the departments of Justice and Homeland Security, would prohibit migrants who have resided in or traveled through third countries from seeking asylum in the US, therefore barring migrants traveling through Mexico from being able to claim asylum.

In his order Monday , US District Judge Jon Tigar said, "The primary reason a nationwide injunction is appropriate is that it is the only means of affording complete relief" -- issuing yet another setback for the Trump administration after its brief victory in the 9th Circuit last month.

In July, Tigar halted the Trump administration's rule. Nearly a month later, the 9th Circuit dialed back the injunction, saying it can apply only to migrants claiming asylum in California and Arizona, states that fall under the 9th Circuit's jurisdiction.

But Monday's order expands the injunction again, blocking it across the country instead of only in the states that fall under the 9th Circuit's jurisdiction.
