So.
This is obviously a PHOTO of the seal used in an article, just as is done with nearly every article ever, anywhere.
It does not purport to be official in any way, and does not infringe copyright.
By the same faux logic, you should be sued and shut down for using the screen capture you just used, and every article that uses a photo of someone or a corporate logo should suffer the same fate.

You did something similar when you used a screencap - ie, another photo - of no less than three official government seals for your post.
So either you are right and it's all illegal or you're wrong.
Which is it?

Presumably the hosting servers and the manufacturer in the case of the knock off products are located outside of the country. Were they not then the government could just as easily have shut down the actual server/manufacturer.
Since (one of) the goal of ICE is to prevent smuggling into the country of any form of contraband then it is reasonable for them to be involved in this activity.
On the flip side ICE would not be the correct department to handle misuse of the Presidential seal as there is no foreign activity involved. Instead this would fall to either the FBI or the Secret Service
