I can't help but think that when the New Republic inevitably try to rescue Wash and the others, that it'll all end up being a trap.

I mean, the Fed who gave Tucker the data in episode 2 was only knocked out. Surely when he woke up, he would've just told someone about the data he'd been forced to transfer. Also Tucker had specifically asked for information on Wash and the others - so wouldn't the Feds now know that the New Republic are aware of where the prisoners are being kept? And so wouldn't the Feds now be prepared for a rescue attempt?

I suppose it's always possible that the Fed (the one Tucker knocked out) didn't say anything out of fear of being punished. Or maybe he woke up but then got killed in one of the explosions. I dunno, but I have a feeling that Locus wants the New Republic to attempt a rescue so that he can get a hold of the rest of the Reds and Blues.
