(C)  Offenses “Related to” Another Offense.  Many, but not all, specific aggravated felony categories have parentheticals describing the offenses contained in specific statutes as “relating to” a given offense.  To read the “related to” language in the definition of offenses relating to failure to appear,[396] for example, to include aiding and abetting offenses would render meaningless the “conspiracy or attempt” language applicable to all aggravated felonies.[397]  See § 4.37, infra.


[396] INA § 101(a)(43)(T), 8 U.S.C. § 1101(a)(43)(T).

[397] INA § 101(a)(43)(U), 8 U.S.C. § 1101(a)(43)(U).
