A defendant may move certain State-court actions enforcing foreign defamation judgments to federal court. The right applies to listed combinations of State citizens and foreign parties.
Besides section 1441 removal, any defendant may remove to the federal district* covering a pending State* action enforcing a foreign defamation* judgment, regardless of the amount in dispute, if (1) a plaintiff and defendant are citizens of different States, (2) a plaintiff is a foreign state or foreign citizen or subject and a defendant is a State citizen, or (3) a plaintiff is a State citizen and a defendant is a foreign state or foreign citizen or subject.
In addition to removal allowed under section 1441, any action brought in a State* domestic court* to enforce a foreign judgment* for defamation* in which—
any plaintiff is a citizen of a State different from any defendant;
any plaintiff is a foreign state or a citizen or subject of a foreign state and any defendant is a citizen of a State; or
any plaintiff is a citizen of a State and any defendant is a foreign state or citizen or subject of a foreign state,
may be removed by any defendant to the district court of the United States* for the district* and division embracing the place where such action is pending without regard to the amount in controversy between the parties.
