I can now confirm that this works, though YMMV. They did make us go into the CBP office and speak to a supervisor as they said that's now protocol, but the supervisor didn't give us a hard time. FWIW, they do want to hear a good justification for why you need to travel.
That is good news however we need something more concrete as a YMMV could pose to be very challenging at times
Agreed. We drove but had a flight booked for the next day as a backup. Not reliable and not always feasible.
So your spouse isn't a US citizen at all I assume? Any of her parents are?
Which crossing?
Looks like you missed my (edited) post. Which crossing?
My mother in law came yesterday from Montreal to NY with her son. She is us citizen but not her son. Agent told them it's a grey area and let them through.
Interesting. I had called the CBP in Sept/Oct when they weren't letting spouses through at all and they said kids of a citizen are allowed in, though they may have mentioned specifically minor kids. Is your BIL over 18? I assume that may be why it's grey...
ESCAPE NOW WHILE YOU STILL CAN!!!!

Practically speaking there are only a few changes from the previous restrictions- workplaces, big box stores, etc. People seem to be taking it more seriously now that they're calling it a stay-at-home order though.But yes, personally I did flee South for a bit
I heard (not from someone actually there) that they are giving fines to people off their properties, is this not true?
Not in Ontario.
