Your entire post, because I have no clue what point you're trying to make. Are you saying it was proper for LE to make this big thing about a sting on a human trafficking ring when they can't really do anything about it? Have you seen any evidence which suggests local LE is referring this to the Feds? Further, what sense would it make to make this public and then go to the Feds? It gives the perps a head start to flee, obstruct and dispose of evidence. So, your entire post confuses me, because I'm not sure what point you're trying to make. Enlighten me.
Perhaps you should educate yourself rather than hug Kraft's nuts.

‘The Monsters Are the Men’: Inside a Thriving Sex Trafficking Trade in Florida
Sheriff Snyder said investigators, who worked with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, estimated the trafficking ring to be a $20 million international operation. Men paid between $100 and $200 for sex, the sheriff said; between $2 million and $3 million has been seized in Florida, he said, including a safe stuffed with Rolex watches.
State Attorney Dave Aronberg of Palm Beach County, whose office leads a human trafficking task force with the F.B.I., said trafficking foreigners to work in places like massage parlors can be more difficult to root out than trafficking, for example, American girls who are recruited in person or online.
“They come from countries where the police are part of the problem, and they’re smuggled into the country,” Mr. Aronberg said.
Laura Cusack, a social worker in charge of the human trafficking prevention and education program at Place of Hope, an agency for foster children and trafficking victims in Boca Raton, said foreign victims were often threatened by traffickers in their home countries.
“They’re told by traffickers, ‘I’ve got people waiting for you,’” she said. When social workers urge victims like that to come forward to the police, they say, “‘No, you don’t understand. They’re trying to find my little sister back home. They’re trying to find my daughter,’” Ms. Cusack said.
