The Fed Charges in which he served time, leaves a person under what is called "Supervised Release" for X number of years as ordered by the sentencing Judge.
This period comes with "conditions" of which not using the Internet could be one of them.
However, if a person is thought to have violated the conditions of their Supervised Release, it is up to U.S. Marshals to take said person into custody, NOT any local, or state LEO's.
Then, the person gets a hearing before a Judge whereby they are represented by an attorney and evidence is introduced and can be challenged. Thereafter, the Judge will make a ruling on whether the person is thought to have violated the conditions and he/she can order him to serve the time left on his his Supervised Release, add more time thereto and let them go or a combination thereof.
