The ordinary meaning of “relating to,” however, is not “so broad that it is meaningless.” Rutledge v. Pharmaceutical Care Management Assn., 592 U. S. 80, 93 (Thomas, J., concurring). The ordinary meaning requires a connection that is not “ `tenuous, remote, or peripheral.' ” Id., at 94. Ordinary readers would not understand the federal officer removal statute to reach all suits with any attenuated connection to federal duties. Pp. 11–12.
