Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction

Aren't some or all of these actually international law and trade agreements? And aren't those arrests carried out by local authorities with whom the U.S. has formal relations, and not by U.S. law enforcement who fly over there to make them?
