Federal courts and territorial courts can enforce this chapter and hear related cases. There's an exception for certain matters under sections 457(d) and 467. Enforcement suits must be brought by the United States, and witness subpoenas can cross district lines.

This section is a single, undivided provision. The United States district courts, the District Court of Guam, the District Court of the Virgin Islands, the highest court of American Samoa, and the U.S. courts of the other territories all have jurisdiction to enforce this chapter and to prevent and stop violations of it. These courts also have jurisdiction over every other kind of case that arises under this chapter, except as sections 457(d) and 467 of this title provide otherwise. Every proceeding to enforce or stop violations of this chapter must be brought by, and in the name of, the United States. Subpoenas for witnesses required to appear before a U.S. court, in any district, may reach into any other district for these proceedings.
