They can do it... it's as if Iran's government prosecutor body charged someone living in the US of "not wearing a burka" or whatever crazy law. They can definitely do it, and they can try to move strings to get to them. Their success will depend on their power to enforce it and coerce other countries to surrender the person(s).
It's like the news we have seen in the last days, of different countries committing to arrest Putin for whatever crimes.
But yeah, I agree with your overall sentiment: This is a USA legal system/government arm (SEC) playing "world police". They should just tag Tron and related cryptos as "sanctioned/illegal schemes" and prosecute anyone in their country who uses/operates them. Anything else is just meddle with other countries' citizens.
