According to 28 U.S.C. §1332(a)(2): An alien (a person who is not a U.S. citizen or has not been lawfully permitted to establish permanent residence in the same state as the opposing party), involved in a civil suit with an American citizen has the ability to bring that suit into a federal court rather than having it heard in a local state court.

(Consult a lawyer for any questions arising out of this subject. The above definition does not provide a complete understanding of alienage jurisdiction. Rather it is a brief introduction to the concept.)
