How come many ICOs make one of their requirements that you are not located within the US?  Is there some kind of law that bars ICO in the states or what is their reasoning?

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

Yes, there is something called the SEC which prohibits ICO's to sell within the USA unless filed with them. Which is why our ICO Minerva, is completely done in SEC compliance.

Yes, SEC is the manager of icos in America, google the news yourself. In a word, most of icos are conflict with American stock laws.
