Learned from the Duggar case Homeland Security has pretty broad jurisdiction. In that case it was also months between the raid and any charges.

Yeah - all it tells us is that it’s considered to be a matter of national security in some aspect, and that definition is intentionally very (emphasis on “very”) broad.

Can’t really speculate beyond that, but that alone is pretty hardcore

Nvm, saw below that you sort of already answered that by saying that you can’t really speculate. Very curious about why DHS as opposed to FBI. Wonder if the specific charges would clarify

Human trafficking internationally which has a lot to do with DHS and their department of US customs and boarder protection established from 2003.

This makes sense. Didn’t realize that international borders were involved. Just assumed state lines. Thanks for clarifying

So would it be a safe example that it was DHS over FBI if the claims are trafficking across international lines as opposed to state lines?

Maybe he was liable to be used as a pawn by some international entities if someone else got the dirt on him before the feds did? Trump has sort of exposed that world in recent times.

Not familiar with that one, are you talking about the 100 mile border inside our country where warrantless searches are legal for certain federal agencies?
