A private person may arrest another:
For a public offense committed or attempted in his/her presence.
When the person arrested has committed a felony, although not in his/her presence.
When a felony has been in fact committed, and he or she has reasonable cause for believing the person arrested to have committed it.
When Can a Private Citizen Arrest Someone?
A person can arrest someone that they reasonably suspect of committing a felony, even if the felony didn't occur in the presence of the individual making the arrest. As long as a felony was actually committed and the individual making the arrest knew of the crime, a reasonable suspicion about the identity of the perpetrator will justify their arrest. However, if the crime did not in fact happen, the person making the arrest could become civilly and criminally liable.
In general, people can't use a citizen's arrest for misdemeanors unless the misdemeanor involves a breach of the peace. Even in these circumstances, however, individuals can only make arrests when they've personally witnessed the criminal behavior and the breach has just occurred or there's a strong likelihood that the breach will continue.

All states authorize private citizens to make arrests. For example, a car owner may arrest a teenager trying to break into her car, and a store security guard may stop and detain a shoplifter.
Most states authorize private citizens to make arrests if the suspect:
has actually committed a felony, or
is committing a breach-of-the-peace misdemeanor in the presence of the citizen. Whether a misdemeanor breaches the peace is typically a case-by-case determination—for example, illegally carrying a firearm might qualify.

Legally, the Minutemen have every right to do exactly what they are doing. The right to assemble and the right to bear arms are both protected under the First and Second Amendments, as well as by Arizona state law; which is why, according to Arizona Governor Janet Napolitano, they have not been stopped.
