Vigilant Eagle is a DHS program targeting "disgruntled military personnel". Last August, former Marine Brandon Raub was arrested by the Secret Service and FBI, taken into custody and placed in a psychiatric institution where he was told he would be forced to take medication which he did not want. He was freed approximately one week later after a federal judge reviewed his detention and found no probable cause by which to hold him. Raub’s plight was taken up by The Rutherford Institute, which is suing the government on Raub’s behalf for an unspecified amount. In a May 22, 2013 press release, Rutherford stated: The complaint, filed in federal court in Richmond, alleges that Raub’s seizure and detention were the result of a federal government program code-named “Operation Vigilant Eagle” that involves the systematic surveillance of military veterans who express views critical of the government. reagancoalition/articles/2013/20130724006-navy-seal-obama.html
