Jesus was put to death by Roman authorities at the behest of Jewish religious authorities. The crucifixion was illegal because he did not commit a crime under Roman law.
The Jewish religious authorities wanted him killed because he proclaimed himself God when he said "I am."
Jesus did not have a poltiical message, he did not dabble in politics, he did not lend his aid to the Jews who were rebelling against Roman authority, in fact, he said "render unto Caesar what is Caesar's" which is a recognition that the Roman Empire was the lawful authority of the Jews at that time.
