After the seizure the domain name registry alters registered information about the domain name, including the IP address on its domain name server (DNS), as property of the U.S. government.
When a user intends to access the website from a domain that has been seized, DNS servers reply with the government server's IP address.
Initially a user who attempts to access the targeted website is directed to the governmental server and faced with the agencies' banner; in March 2014 this changed and users are instead redirected to YouTube in order to watch ICE's campaign video.
