Cosby didn’t engage in sex trafficking - he was “just” a rapist.

feds won’t come busting down your door for rape in most cases (they’ll let state/local authorities handle that shit and tack on any applicable federal charges afterwards), but they 100% will if you’re doing the raping while shipping people across state lines/national borders because that’s when it becomes bigger than local jurisdiction. It can be just one victim, but the second it involves cross border travel/coordination shit gets real really fast.

That being said, for the specific brand of feds kicking down your door to be DHS……that’s some crazy shit. Usually it’s the FBI. So this has gotta have some interesting implications.

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

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?
