First of all, how do you know that the Feds weren't there? The article you posted argues that they had a BEHIND THE SCENES role not a role that would make them visible.
Second, I just went to the site of the DoJ's Community Relations Service and it describes itself almost exactly the way I assumed it would.
The Community Relations Service is the Department's "peacemaker" for community conflicts and tensions arising from differences of race, color, and national origin. Created by the Civil Rights Act of 1964, CRS is the only Federal agency dedicated to assist State and local units of government, private and public organizations, and community groups with preventing and resolving racial and ethnic tensions, incidents, and civil disorders, and in restoring racial stability and harmony.

They were there to keep the peace - aka prevent the riots that so many white people seem so afraid of. Unless, again, somebody can demonstrate that they were ENDORSING the rally, then this story is a non-issue.
Try listening to the audio from their community meeting - https://soundcloud.com/judicial-watch/second-shiloh-missionary - which facilitated the same group that laid siege to the Sanford PD for the purpose of demanding that Zimmerman be arrested and put on trial.
This isn't peace keeping. It's aiding and abetting mobs.
