Then you didn't read the opening paragraph of the Business Insider article I linked to in the OP.

The Department of Homeland Security is using 16 military-style, mine-resistant ambush protected vehicles for use during "high-risk warrants," according to an official spokesman.

That's "High risk warrants", not border security, not delivering water bottles or blankets. These are combat vehicles and that's apparently what they are going to be used for unless you have some information to the contrary.
