Yes ... but

A citizen of Another Country can sue persons in or from the USA

The problem is where is the lawsuit filed.

Filing away from the residence or outside the USA may not be legal or enforceable.

Me for example: USA citizen but permanent resident (legal) of Canada. You would have to file against me in Canada.
