Does specialized hardware encourage specialized seizure?

"U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is seizing Bitcoin mining ASICs. The crackdown, as reported by Blockspace.Media, now includes machines from MicroBT and Canaan, following the initial stoppage of Bitmain’s Antminer S21 and T21 models last year." - https://www.nobsbitcoin.com/cbp-broadens-crackdown-on-asian-asics/

this is just expropriation or are the buyers/sellers criminals?

I don't know.

If it's the FCC saying these devices need to be seized that sounds more like blanket expropriation.
