Talks due to start on Wednesday to attempt to resolve allegations of racial profiling in Arpaio's office were called off at the last minute amid name-calling from both sides.
Arpaio claims the federal government is trying to take over his department as part of a political witchhunt against him.
"I am the constitutionally and legitimately elected sheriff and I absolutely refuse to surrender my responsibility to the federal government," he said in a press release posted on his website.
"And so to the Obama administration, who is attempting to strong arm me into submission only for its political gain, I say, 'This will not happen, not on my watch!'"
