I get that. But there is nothing that I can find in any of the statutes cited in the ICE image on the redirected page that says that DHS can commandeer someones property (the domain name) without due process.

The statutes supplied talk about “trafficking in counterfeits” and “attempted transactions”, nowhere do they have authority to act pre-emptively. They can seize anything used in the transaction or attempted transaction but only after a trial.

Actually, it appears that it’s part of the TOS for godaddy.com and networksolutions that they will comply with a federal agency in countering the theft of intellectual property. Whereas Wikileaks.org isn’t registered with either registrar.
