So say they killed someone in the US, which country would prosecute them? Do they get to obey someone else’s laws while in the US?

If you are talking about non-citizens, that is settled by international treaty. They are tried in the US according to US law but have access to embassy or consular aid. The same should apply to their children, 1898 ruling be damned.
