That is very misleading. According to the dictionary, a vigilante is: "One who takes or advocates the taking of law enforcement into one's own hands."
The minutemen do not actually arrest anyone. They do not take law enforcement into their own hands. They simply watch the border peacefully, and if they spot illegals crossing, they notify the appropriate people (such as the INS or whatever it is.)
