Conservative TribuneJust days before Thanksgiving, following months of threats and promises, President Barack Obama acted in a purely dictatorial manner to change immigration law and defer deportations for millions of illegal immigrants, effectively granting them amnesty.
Arizona’s Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio has been one of the many voices warning about Obama’s actions.
Now he has now taken the huge step of filing a lawsuit against Obama to stop the government from implementing his unconstitutional plan to bestow amnesty on certain illegals.
Now that the lawsuit has been filed, WND is reporting on a motion filed seeking a preliminary hearing to request an injunction against Obama’s executive branch, and the agencies that make it up, to prevent them from further engaging in implementation of Obama’s unilateral changes to immigration law.
“In response to President Obama’s announcement of November 20, 2014, that he on his own authority will grant legal status in the United States to approximately 4.7 million illegal aliens, Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County, Arizona, and his crime-fighting attorneyLarry Klayman, have filed a complaint and preliminary injunction motion with the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia seeking to enjoin or stop this illegal action by President Obama,” said a statement released by FreedomWatch, Klayman’s organization.
The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, names as defendants Obama, DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson, Immigration Services Chief Leon Rodriguez, and the contemptible Attorney General Eric Holder.
The suit seeks to avoid the “irreversible harm” caused by Obama’s actions, which will “encourage more illegal aliens to enter the country unlawfully.”
“This unconstitutional act by the president will have a serious detrimental impact on my carrying out the duties and responsibilities for which I am encharged as sheriff,” Arpaio said. “Specifically, it will severely strain our resources, both in manpower and financially, necessary to protect the citizens I was elected to serve.
“For instance, among the many negative [e]ffects of this executive order, will be the increased release of criminal aliens back onto streets of Maricopa County, Arizona, and the rest of the nation.
“I am not seeking to myself enforce the immigration laws as this is the province of the federal government. Rather, I am seeking to have the president and the other defendants obey the U.S. Constitution, which prevents this executive order from having been issued in the first place.
“This unconstitutional act must be enjoined by a court of law on behalf of not just myself, but all of the American people.”
The original complaint filed by Sheriff Joe and Larry Klayman can be read here.
Sheriff Joe Arpaio has long been on Obama’s “enemies list” for good reason, as he has proven to be a thorn in the side of this progressively socialistic administration.
His lawsuit is an excellent first step towards halting and rolling back Obama’s unlawful and unconstitutional actions regarding changes to the immigration laws.

blah, blah, blah, blah, blah… good ole joe is back on the case… greaaat…
so sick of that clown
A lawsuit? There can be no more doubt that Sheriff Joe is only providing false opposition to the wetback invasion just to appease an angry American population, and make them believe that someone is doing something to stop it. Sheriff Joe is full of shite, and is supporting the invasion by pretending to oppose it.
Waste of time Joe
theres only one way to deal with a Tyrant , and you know what it is..anything else is just theater for the masses .. nope , not buying it

What part of “can’t sue the president”, does he not understand? Impeachment is the only way. Stop avoiding impeachment and just do it already!
It’s like saying, “We’re not going to arrest him for being a criminal. We’re just going to tap him on the head.” WTF??
Enough with the distractions and run arounds. As my father used to say, “SHIT or get off the pot!”.
