Sheriff Arpaio, who was one of the proponents behind Arizona's controversial immigration law SB1070, joins Take Two for more.

Less than 24 hours after President Obama's immigration announcement, the legal action begins.

Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio is suing the president over his immigration executive order.

Sheriff Arpaio was one of the proponents behind Arizona's controversial immigration law, SB1070.

It was struck down - in part - in the U.S. Supreme Court two years ago.

Arpaio joins Take Two to discuss his decision.
