dewlineBob Ingersoll had a few things to say about a specific issue of Jane Foster-era Thor a year ago.
It involved SHIELD agents getting a search warrant to investigate connections between Jane Foster and Thor...which was interesting in one respect since she was appointed by the hammer Mjolnir as the Goddess of Thunder at the time, dealing with a prolonged stage three-to-four fight with cancer, and serving as Earth's representative at the Congress of Worlds as convened by Asgardia.
Specifically, the incarnation of SHIELD that started at the end of Secret Warriors v.1, and before they got dismantled yet again as a consequence of not catching "Captain HYDRA" building his Secret Empire right under everyone's nose. So...could SHIELD get a search warrant for anywhere Jane Foster was calling home, inside and outside US territory?
We've got a few issues. Per the ending of Secret Warriors v.1 and the bulk of Secret Avengers v.2, SHIELD is still supposedly a United Nations-affiliated organization at this point, barring the opinions of certain American politicians of various affiliations. They could refer to either the International Court of Justice or the International Criminal Court, depending on the needs of the situation and the interest level of signatory nations. Not being conversant in international law - either the real-worlds variant or the Marvel Comics Multiverse kind - I hesitate to suggest ways and means. We need nerds who are conversant in such things.
SHIELD's jurisdiction to search in Asgardia is definitely problematic at best. Asgardia was not a signatory to any of the treaties that might be useful to SHIELD here, as far as I know. At least not yet. But the Asgardian authorities might have to decided to play along to get Jane out of their hair one way or another given the politics of that particular moment.
Sorry it took me so long to notice this...
