No 401K money cannot be seized for virtually anything. If by garnishment you mean your collecting from the 401k - there are many ways that income can be seized, just not while it's in the 401k.

Enjoy Tax Benefits of a 401K?

If you are a young person and open up a 401K, the tax benefits you enjoy can be tremendous. A person is entitled to put up to $16,500 into a 401K in any given year. This amount is going to be increased to $22,000 in upcoming years. If you do decide to contribute funds to a retirement account like a 401k, simply make sure you are not going to need to take the money back out.

An employer cannot legally withhold funds from a paycheck (tender for your services rendered to, and on their behalf), unless you consent/authorize them to do so, there is a legal garnishment/lien in place through the court, or elected voluntary deductions such as 401K. If the employer withheld funds outside of the aforementioned exceptions, you do have legal recourse.
