But it is a verb here.
Does it mean:
Law. to remove (property) temporarily from the possession of the owner; seize and hold, as the property and income of a debtor, until legal claims are satisfied?

@oristarA,

It is being used as a noun around here these days, like an upcoming event. It is something that Congress has scheduled for early March.
