The issue is not territorial jurisdiction, it’s political jurisdiction which goes to allegiance.

The woman is a citizen of a foreign nation, i.e., a subject.

Therefore subject to the jurisdiction of the nation that she belongs to.

You are making the same semantic mistake that others do, because the original understanding is not understood now over a century and a half later. Eastman and Meese explain this in their brief in Hamdi.
