the State of Hawaii has no jurisdiction over these protesters
If these protestors are going to claim sovereignty, wouldn't they then not be US Citizens, and therefore require an entry visa, green card, or similar legitimate grant of entry to the US?
"But they were here already" would only seem to apply to bona fide "natives" with lineage proving they were here before the overthrow -- and would also seem to require that this status be legitimately recognized by the US as "separate" from birthright citizenship.
Assuming formal recognition, perhaps they're considered to have "dual citizenship" -- but isn't US citizenship void when you take up arms for a foreign nation?
"Lead, follow, get out of the way ... or this fourth option we have for the mountain."
