What About Those Car Carriers?

As we live through the current "drawdown" of DHS paramilitaries here in Minnesota, no one quite knows what's going on. There do appear to be significantly fewer overt grabs happening in Minneapolis and Saint Paul, but reports are that they continue in greater Minnesota and farther suburban areas. The feds keep lying about how many personnel they have here currently, and how many they intend to keep here, including telling bald-faced lies to members of Congress. 

So no one is resting easy and people have not returned to "normal," whatever that is these days.

And then there are the multiple car-carriers full of brand-new black Suburbans and Chevy Tahoes that have been seen driving into the Whipple Building in the past week or so. Why would DHS need dozens and dozens of new urban assault vehicles if they're withdrawing from the area?

Today there was a short conversation on BlueSky with a hypothesis:  

My husband’s theory about all the truckloads of fleet vehicles going INTO Whipple when there’s allegedly a drawdown is government inefficiency.  They ordered tons in December and just now getting delivered. Thoughts?   Would be cool if four federal electeds could get information on this!

I was thinking this awhile ago. I think it’s also possible that the equipment procurement people don’t talk to the personnel people.

Seems about right for this administration.

I've suspected/hoped it was a logistical problem, but then again we don't ever hear "flatbeds of vehicles LEAVING," which would help confirm that.

It does seem that the same vehicles would be seen leaving at some point soon if the deliveries were a mistimed mistake, right? And the Whipple Building in general would be returned to its previous federal uses, none of which were as an illegal detention center or base for DHS goons.
