Furthermore, 18 U.S.C § 2381, states that a person guilty of treason against the United States “shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.”
In 1847, in a dusty plaza in Taos (now New Mexico), American authorities tried and executed a thirty-nine-year-old man named Hipolito Salazar for treason against the United States. He is the only person ever executed for treason.
