sequestrations
Legal property seizures
Sequestrations are acts of isolating, setting apart, or seizing.
In law, sequestration is the confiscation of property until a debt is paid or dispute resolved.
In U.S. budget policy, sequestration refers to automatic spending cuts triggered when Congress fails to meet deficit targets.
The word also applies to carbon sequestration—capturing and storing atmospheric carbon dioxide.
