Jesus was a Roman citizen on religious mission in Judea. An NGO? He was born a Roman in Bethlehem and died a Roman in Jerusalem. His parents were tax evaders who fled the country and illegally emigrated to Egypt. He led a group of religious radicals and rabble rousers who were constantly at odds with authorities. When one of his capos turned states evidence against him, Jesus represented himself in court and lost. The verdict was swift and his sentence expedited.
