Trump’s new guy: Reitz now chief officer for Southern District of Texas
Talk about a MAGA sweep.
The president’s new U.S. Attorney, Aaron Reitz, is now the chief federal law enforcement officer for the Southern District of Texas — a massive jurisdiction that stretches from the Houston metroplex to the RGV, which includes 44,000 square miles, 43 counties, and approximately 10 million people.
Might be fewer people now since one of Reitz’s main missions is to deport people, and he’s been in office now for already a month.
President Donald Trump skipped the standard U.S. Senate-confirmation process to get Reitz in office by making use of a “district court judicial appointment mechanism,” which allows the federal judges within the Southern District to vote him into office.
After all, a full Senate confirmation hearing would have given Democrat senators the opportunity to ask Reitz why he’s been so hostile to kids, documented or not?
On the U.S. DOJ website, Reitz had this to say: “I’m honored to serve as the chief federal law enforcement officer and lawyer for this mission-critical district. Our office will relentlessly combat violent crime, illegal immigration, drug and human trafficking, corruption, and fraud. We will faithfully uphold the rule of law and protect the public. Things are about to get very bad for criminals in the Southern District of Texas.”
Back in D.C.
Meanwhile, U.S. Attorney Reitz’s boss, the president, was out and about the last few weeks offering advanced information to hedge funds, large banks, etc.,willing to pay a “membership fee” of $100,000 per month.
For that much, they would get advanced notice of what the president was about to post on his Truth Social account.
You know, the sort of stuff that can swing markets — Iran war escalation; no escalation — and produce profits at the trading desk.
Think of that. If the president is going to escalate the war, time to buy stock in Lockheed, etc. And wouldn’t it be nice if a big hedge fund could know of that before the war news became public?
Going to place a new trade tariff on Canada this afternoon? Money to be made there, too, with some advanced warning from DJT.
In the old days, this might be called selling “inside information.” In Trump Land, however, this is simply known as a good business opportunity.
Yet, the president’s new U.S. attorney is going to come down to the RGV to fight public corruption?
Sure thing.
Since Donald Trump was sworn in for his second term in January 2025, his family ventures have generated billions of dollars in income and federal no-bid contracts, heavily driven by his sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, who run the family businesses and investment ventures. (Source: CNN. CBC.)
Sounds like the Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG) launching the “Truth API” enterprise data feed is a nice addition to the family bread and brand.
Targeted primarily at Wall Street hedge funds and high-frequency trading firms, TMTG delivers structured, machine-readable access to high-profile Truth Social posts — including those from Donald Trump — moments before or as they hit the public feed.
Just in time to buy or sell stock shares or buy a futures contract(s) with the click of a Fidelity button.
TMTG discussed charging institutional subscribers up to $100,000 per month (or roughly $60,000/month on multi-year commitments) for the accelerated data feed.
This money-making Truth API was launchedAug. 1, 2026, so the money is already rolling in. Who said public service had to be free?
Trump’s New Attorney
Prior to his recent stint in private practice, the new U.S. Attorney, Aaron Reitz, served as head of the DOJ’s Office of Legal Policy.
Now that Trump’s personal attorney, Todd Blanche, a Pam–Bondi barracuda type sans the eyelashes and cosmetic surgery, is the U.S. AG, the DOJ is free to do whatever it wants in following the Trump agenda. With Reitz now covering South Texas, what could be better?
Reitz has said in public numerous times he is on board with the MAGA agenda.
Here in South Texas, that includes deporting Maria the Maid and Jose the Gardener, countless construction roofers, blue-collar people who know the real meaning of work, which Reitz alluded to earlier this year when he was trying to win the Republican nomination for Texas attorney general.
In fact, he has said publicly that he wants to see “20 million people deported.” (Source: Texas Tribune).
Also, 50 million visa renewals denied from “Third Worlders.”
Meaning, if you’re not white, from a Western European country, there’s the door, now get out.
Oh, also, our new U.S. Attorney, now overseeing South Texas, is not afraid to go after kids.
Aaron Reitz wants to see the landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision, Plyler v. Doe, overturned. That federal law guarantees that states cannot deny public school education to the children of undocumented immigrants.
Better they stay out of school, join a gang, commit a crime, so the private prisons can make more money. Unless Trump’s DOJ can catch their parents and deport the whole family. Sure, dad may work as a roofer, pay taxes, but get him out of here. Except for the ones who work at the Trump golf courses?
Fake news. As far as U.S. Attorney Aaron Reitz is concerned, and he has said this on the record, the individuals in this country illegally are a national security threat.
Not that Reitz has anything to do with the Iran War, costing U.S. taxpayers billions while jacking up prices in the store and at the pump, depleting our strategic petroleum reserves in the process, but he did say, too, that he will work to protect the taxpayer dollar.
With this man at the helm, I feel safe and secure.
