Question Presented (AI Summary)

Has the authority of the Freddie Mac to remove state court actions to federal court been extinguished?

Question Presented (from Petition)

QUESTIONS PRESENTED 1. Has the authority of the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) to remove state court actions to federal court, pursuant to 12 U.S.C. § 1452(f), been extinguished because Freddie Mac is no longer owned by the federal government? 2. Does an owner of real estate possess a federal due process right to ascertain the validity of a security interest in that real estate, and the identity of the entities that claim said security interest? 3. Does the holding of Carpenter v. Longan, 83 U.S. 271 (1872) render a transaction purporting to separate a mortgage and a note invalid?
