The only way they could ever take it from you:
1) you gave up your seed willingly, probably under coercion
2) you had it custodied with a company whose assets they seized (much like leaving your fiat with a bank)
How they might know what Bitcoin is yours:
1) you bought it from another party who had your information attached to the transaction (such as an exchange)
2) you paid for a product with your name attached to it
That's the basics without getting too convoluted
