Without more context, I perceive your examples as referring to a legal process. Your first sentence uses the verb "embargar", and the other sentence uses the noun "embargo".

Some possible translations for the verb include: foreclose, repossess, seize, freeze, garnish, and possibly hold a lien.

Some possible translations for the noun include: foreclosure, repossession, seizure, freezing, garnishment, and lien.

These words are all the names of different types of legal recourse that a lender has when a borrower fails to pay a debt or to repay a loan according to the terms of the loan contract.
