A domain is a resolve/gateway, nothing more. US government have no jurisdiction if the computer and/or peers are located elsewhere in the world. Interpol have to coordinate and delegate to each jurisdiction. That way US is only one jurisdiction. Cooperation and extradiction is possible though if serious enough.
