It is not true that there is a restriction on leaving Mexico due to a lack of an electronic passport: what the government says

The United States Department of the Treasury announced on Friday the removal of sanctions previously imposed on the Eritrean Defense Forces and the ruling People's Front for Democracy and Justice (PFDJ). The decision also applies to several other entities associated with Eritrean authorities.

These sanctions were originally implemented as part of U.S. foreign policy measures targeting specific organizations linked to the Eritrean government. The current reversal marks a shift in the status of these entities regarding U.S. financial and economic restrictions.
