(D)  Involuntary Servitude.  Despite the “relating to” language, Congress was specific in listing certain sections of Chapter 77 or Title 18 (peonage, slavery, and trafficking in persons), but not others.  Arguably, a conviction under one of the unlisted sections of that chapter should therefore not be found “related to” the listed ones.[862]

 


[862] See, e.g., 18 U.S.C. § 1589, punishing forced labor by force, threat of force, or abuse of law.
