How is it that Interpol isn’t taking over/shutting down these domains in the DNS at the registry/registrar level?

The GAC pushed hard for the provisions that allow them to do so and there’s a pretty clear (and quick) process for it.

Keep in mind that if an ISP is blocking it would mean that it is also logging the information (source IP) and law agencies might be wanting access to it.
