Twin Cities Autism Provider Raids
On Thursday, October 29 2026, federal and state law-enforcement agents executed search warrants at two Minnesota autism-service businesses—Iska Inc. in St. Louis Park and Bright Horizon Therapy Center in Edina. The actions were described by officials as “court-authorized investigative activity.” No arrests or charges have been announced, and the specific allegations remain unconfirmed.

Agencies Involved and Targets
The raids were coordinated by Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison’s Medicaid Fraud Control Unit together with the FBI, the Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General, U.S. Postal Inspectors, IRS criminal investigators, the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, and the Minnesota Department of Health. Both firms provide Early Intensive Developmental and Behavioral Intervention (EIDBI) services to Medicaid recipients. Records obtained by local media show Iska Inc. had been disenrolled during a state revalidation effort in May after a failed site visit, with no appeal filed as of early June.

On-the-Ground Observations
WCCO reporter Drew Mills, who observed the Bright Horizon site from a neighboring office, estimated that 12 to 18 agents were present and noted a shattered front-door glass pane. At the St. Louis Park location, a broken window was reported, but no injuries occurred. Employees at Iska Inc. confirmed the presence of law-enforcement personnel removing boxes from the premises.

Conflicting Reports & Gaps
Two sources differ on the exact name of the St. Louis Park provider: Fox 9 and CBS identify it as “Iska Inc.,” while Audacy refers to “ISCA Inc.” Both describe the same location and service focus, but the discrepancy remains unresolved. No public details have been released regarding the evidence sought or the timeline for any potential prosecutions.
