I cannot imagine a scenario where you'd be requested to respond to a subpoena duces tecum (or its equivalent) issued by a court in Nigeria, for example: certainly you should ignore such an attempt.

I believe that there is a process for foreign litigants to follow but it involves having a new subpoena issued in the USA, in your case in a Nevada court, similar to how an out of state subpoena would be reissued.

As for criminal cases: other than the subpoena specifying the information requested I wonder whether you have a right to be told anything about the state's motivation / likely criminal charge?

Again, this is not an area of law I am familiar with, but what if they are investigating and no charges have yet been filed?

What if it's a matter of National Security?

My point: it may not be easy or even possible to protect anybody without putting yourself in harm's way / stepping into a pile of dung; you should definitely consult with an attorney who is up to speed on such matters before taking action.
