Aug. 14, 2026 By Molly Miossi
Great Falls, Montana - KRTV, the CBS affiliate in Great Falls, Montana, owned by The E.W. Scripps Company (NASDAQ: SSP), has earned a 2026 National Edward R. Murrow Award in the category of "Excellence in Innovation" for its special report, "Milk River Meltdown."
The Radio Television Digital News Association (RTDNA) announced the honors Thursday.
"Milk RiverMeltdown" examined the far-reaching impact of the catastrophic failure of the century-old St. Mary siphon, a critical piece of infrastructure that supplies water to Montana's Hi-Line communities. The special report traced the 729-mile path of the Milk River, highlighting how thousands of residents, farmers, ranchers and tribal communities depend on the waterway for drinking water, irrigation and economic survival.
The report documented the race to restore water flow through a $70 million repair effort involving federal agencies, tribal entities, contractors and local leaders, while also exploring the long-term vulnerabilities of the aging system and the uncertainty facing communities downstream.
"KRTV's reporting demonstrated the power of local journalism to help people understand how a single issue can affect entire communities," said Jeff Kiernan, Scripps' vice president of local news. "Through on-the-ground reporting from multiple locations across Montana, the team brought viewers closer to the people, environmental challenges and economic realities tied to the Milk River, delivering coverage that was informative, compassionate and deeply connected to the communities they serve."
The team of journalists who contributed to this report includes: Tim McGonigal, anchor/reporter, Tom Wylie, anchor/reporter, Eric Gaylord, photographer, and Keagan Harsha, producer/writer.

The National Edward R. Murrow Awards honor outstanding achievements in broadcast and digital journalism and are among the most prestigious awards in the industry. RTDNA previously announced that Scripps stations earned a total of 25 regional Edward R. Murrow Awards in 2026, with all regional winners advancing to the national competition.
2026 National Murrow Award winners will be honored at the Edward R. Murrow Awards Gala on Oct. 12 in New York City. View a full list of 2026 winners here.

Littler Issues Commentary: DHS Adds "Invalidated" EADs, Through Expired TPS, to E-Verify Status Change Reports

SAN FRANCISCO, California, Aug. 14 -- Littler, a law firm, issued the following commentary on Aug. 14, 2026, by senior counsel Bruce Buchanan:
* * *
DHS Adds "Invalidated" EADs, Through Expired TPS, to E-Verify Status Change Reports
As employers have experienced staffing shortages over the last year, the Trump administration has been ending many forms of work authorization by terminating Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for the foreign nationals of numerous countries, including Haiti,/1 Venezuela,/2 Afghanistan, Honduras, and Syria,/3 ending the parole for CHNV/4 parolees effective May 30, 2025,and eliminating the 540-day extension for TPS-related timely filed EAD renewals./5
Due to the ending of work authorizations for many foreign nationals, DHS introduced a Status Change Report in mid-2025 to inform employers enrolled in E-Verify which employees had had their EADS/work authorizations revoked. DHS stated employers should review these reports to determine whose EADs had been revoked and terminate those employees unless they provided alternative work authorization. The first group affected by this status change were the CHNV parolees (category C11) in mid-2025, who at the time of revocation mainly still possessed valid EADs, which the DHS then revoked.
On August 11, 2026, DHS expanded the Status Change Report to include "invalidated" EADs, with category C08 (asylum applicant), C09 (green card applicant), A12 (granted TPS), and C19 (TPS applicant).
In so doing, DHS stated it has the authority to invalidate C08 and C09 EADs based on the withdrawal, approval, or denial of the applicant's Form I-485, or Form I-589, Application for Asylum. Additionally, DHS stated it has the authority to invalidate A12 and C19 EADs based on the termination of the designation for TPS.
DHS reminded E-Verify employers with an employee whose EAD is included in the Status Change Report, that the employee must provide unexpired documentation from List A or List C on the Lists of Acceptable Documents and the employer must reverify that employee's Form I-9 using Supplement B.
Non-E-Verify employers are not covered by Status Change Reports, which may be a factor to consider for employers deciding whether to enroll in E-Verify, if located in a non-mandatory E-Verify state.
The expansion of Status Change Reports will have a greater impact on those industries employing more employees with EADs, which historically have been hospitality, construction, agriculture, and health care for the aging, such as nursing homes and home health care.
With these ever-changing rules, employers are reminded to consult with their immigration compliance attorney to make sure they are in compliance with immigration law.

See Footnotes
1/ As previously discussed in prior articles, the U.S. Supreme Court in ruling in Mullin v. Doe, No. 25-1083 (June 25, 2026), affirmed DHS's power to terminate TPS; DHS ordered the effective date of the termination of TPS Haiti to be July 27, 2026. Thereafter, on August 6, 2025, the district court dissolved the previous stay that had temporarily halted the termination of Haiti's TPS designation.
2/ DHS terminated the 2023 TPS designation for Venezuela, an action the U.S. Supreme Court allowed to take effect on October 3, 2025. The separate 2021 TPS designation for Venezuela terminated on November 7, 2025. A few thousand beneficiaries of 2023 designated TPS have retained work authorization until October 2, 2026, if they received EADs or approval notices on or before February 5, 2025, with an expiration date of October 2, 2026.
3/ TPS for these countries ended on these dates - Afghanistan - 7/21/25, Honduras - 9/8/25, and Syria - 7/27/26.
4/ CHNV stands for Cuba, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Venezuela. The Supreme Court ended CHNV on 5/30/25.
5/ On August 5, 2026, a federal district court declined to block the government's cap of no more than one year or July 22, 2026, whichever is shorter, on TPS EADs, set forth in the One, Big, Beautiful Bill Act (HR 1).
