Joe Arpaio sues President Obama over the issues of immigration on Thursday.
According to the recent news, it was confirmed that a suit was filed in the federal court of Washington on the said day. Aside from the president of the United States, the suit was also against Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson, Attorney General Eric Holder, and Director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Leon Rodriguez.
The lawsuit against the president reportedly asks the court to stop any changes that the Obama government will make when it comes to the immigration policies.

With that, Joe Arpaio believes that the president has already overused his executive power while it could also further encourage many people to illegally enter the country.
The Arizona sheriff who has been a constant critic of the administration regarding the said issue, has also said that the said action by the president is something unconstitutional and that the president has already exceed from his power and from the U.S. Constitution. From the statement released by the sheriff published in the CBS News, Joe Arpaio claims that he only wants President Obama to obey the constitution.
U.S. President's recent announcement regarding the changes in the said immigration issues has also caused some tension between him and the Republicans. According to the latest news, the Republicans also said that the president has already gone too far by trying to implement the said changes.
Joe Arpaio is not the only person who has considered filing a lawsuit against President Obama. Other individual includes attorneys general in states like Texas and Oklahoma. It was also said that the claims against the U.S. president is the only way for the sheriff to fight back against his decision regarding the immigration reforms.
