Then, from their pockets, call the FBI and notify the FBI that a kidnapping of a Federal Officer is in progress. Arrest, charge and prosecute all involved under federal law.

Forget calling the FBI. Just simplify things and bring guns.

While I understand and appreciate the sentiment, involving the FBI puts the whole organization at risk. Even those at the top that conspired to commit the kidnapping. This means you can go after those that funded the organization, etc.

Besides, 5+ years in the federal pen for kidnapping a federal officer would be a very good example to set.
