I have an (inherited) account with Firstrade, they allow it (for the moment anyway), but I don't think you can open an account with them.

Tradestation allow you to buy US ETFs, Tastytrade allow options trading for international customers but I haven't tried purchasing a US ETF yet

Sometimes you get around this by buying ITM puts.
