DHS Extends US/Canada/Mexico Travel Restrictions One More Month

On June 20, 2021, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced that it would be extending pandemic related  travel restrictions on non-essential travel at land and ferry crossings with Canada and Mexico through 11:59 PM EST on July 21, 2021, “…while ensuring access for essential trade & travel”.

This continues the travel restrictions that went into place on March 21, 2020, when the U.S., Mexico, and Canada temporarily restricted non-essential travel across the US-Canada land borders. “Essential travel” includes cross-border activities with Canada and Mexico that support health security, trade, commerce, supply security, and other essential activities.
