Since 0vomit was not a US citizen, he is an enemy combatant, not in uniform. Only a US citizen can commit treason.

I would like to point out that your statement is false. Non-citizens can in fact be charged with treason.

Carlton F.W. Larson is a professor of law at the University of California at Davis and he wrote -

But the offense of treason can be committed by any person who owes allegiance to the United States, and this can include noncitizens. Treason law recognizes two kinds of allegiance: permanent and temporary. U.S. citizens owe permanent allegiance to the United States, and this duty carries with them wherever they go in the world. By contrast, noncitizens in the United States (other than ambassadors and their staffs) owe a duty of temporary allegiance, the Supreme Court found in an 1872 case. While they are within the United States and receiving protection from it, noncitizens are governed by American treason law. If a person on a green card or a student or tourist visa, for example, wages war against the United States or provides aid and comfort to our enemies, he cannot escape a treason prosecution simply by asserting his foreign citizenship.

Tony Ortega, who follows and reports on Scientology, seems to be following the NXIVM trial.

Nxivm: Curious about what it would be like to be a member of the jury in the upcoming Nxivm trial? Take the questionnaire that prospective jurors will be given next week in Brooklyn. There are some fun questions in there.

That’s interesting, thank you. Thing is, 0vomit pretended to be a citizen and his actual status is... very complicated.

Smoky is correct here. The example I will use is Fillipinos that have served in the US Navy since prior to WWII. They are active duty, take the same oath, but are not Green card holders or Citizens (though most end up becoming citizens)

Other nationalities as well - I just had occasion to interact with the Filipinos. Usually in ratings like mess cook, etc.

They could definitely be charged with Treason though not US citizens.
