The short answer to why ICE thinks it has jurisdiction here is that Verisign is the registry that operates .com and .net, and as such, everyone who purchases a .com or .net is doing business with an American company, which ICE is asserting creates a "U.S. nexus" for the purposes of their acts of enforcement.
I'm not sure the courts will ultimately concur with ICE on that conclusion/construction, but that's the basis of their claim of jurisdiction where foreign-operated .COMs and .NETs are concerned.
