Uncle Sam: If It Ends in .Com, It’s .Seizable
It's generally not technically possible for the US to seize individual domains located in ccTLDs, so that's a pretty moot issue.

Sure it is. They own the root, they can return an RR marked as authoritative for any domain in the system.

Would that work in the face of caching? If my resolver already has .se cached, for example, it wouldn't consult the root at all when looking up thepiratebay.se, right?

No domain seizure works in the face of caching. Eventually your cache will time out, and then it hits.
