It marks another victory for the Ivy League school as it challenges multiple government sanctions amid a battle with the White House. Harvard sued the Department of Homeland Security in May after the agency withdrew the school's certification to host foreign students and issue paperwork for their visas. The action would have forced Harvard's roughly 7,000 foreign students to transfer or risk being in the U.S. illegally. New foreign students would have been barred from coming to Harvard. The university called it illegal retaliation for rejecting the White House's demands to overhaul Harvard policies around campus protests, admissions, hiring and other issues. Burroughs temporarily halted the action hours after Harvard sued. Your noon-hour look at what's happening in Toronto and beyond.

Less than two weeks later, in early June, Trump moved to block foreign students from entering the U.S. to attend Harvard, citing a different legal justification. Harvard challenged the move and Burroughs temporarily blocked that effort as well. Trump has been warring with Harvard for months after it rejected a series of government demands meant to address conservative complaints that the school has become too liberal and has tolerated anti-Jewish harassment. Trump officials have cut more than $2.6 billion in research grants, ended federal contracts and threatened to revoke its tax-exempt status. In April, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem demanded that Harvard turn over a trove of records related to any dangerous or illegal activity by foreign students. Harvard says it complied, but Noem said the response fell short and on May 22 revoked Harvard's certification in the Student and Exchange Visitor Program. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. The sanction immediately put Harvard at a disadvantage as it competed for the world's top students, the school said in its lawsuit, and it harmed Harvard's reputation as a global research hub. 'Without its international students, Harvard is not Harvard,' the suit said. The action would have upended some graduate schools that recruit heavily from abroad. Some schools overseas quickly offered invitations to Harvard's students, including two universities in Hong Kong. Harvard President Alan Garber previously said the university has made changes to combat antisemitism. But Harvard, he said, will not stray from its 'core, legally-protected principles,' even after receiving federal ultimatums. RECOMMENDED VIDEO World Columnists MMA World Toronto & GTA

(AP Photo/Charles Krupa) BOSTON (AP) — The soundtrack to Marcelo Mayer's first major league home run was a chorus of boos as he rounded the bases at New York's Yankee Stadium last week. The Red Sox rookie added his latest two homers on much friendlier soil. Advertisement Mayer hit a pair of solo home runs, two of four on the day for Boston, to help the Red Sox claim the rubber match of their three-game series against the Tampa Bay Rays 4-3 on Wednesday night. 'I'd much rather get cheered than booed," Marcelo said. "I love the energy that Fenway Park brings. It's something that I'll remember the rest of my life.' The 22-year-old, who has played 15 games since being called up on May 24, is the youngest Red Sox player to have a multi-homer game since Rafael Devers in 2018. He's the third-youngest player in team history to do it in five career games, behind only Billy Conigliaro (21) and Ted Williams (20). Advertisement 'It was a good one,' Cora said of Marcelo's performance. 'They had a good game plan going into it and they executed it.' Marcelo said his comfort level is rising with each one of his appearances at the plate. He credits the work that he's put in with the Red Sox assistants. 'The process always stays the same I feel more comfortable every single day I'm here," he said. "All the adjustments I've made have helped me a little more on the timing.' Boston is off on Thursday, then will open a three-game series against the Yankees on Friday. Though he's faced the Yankees already, this was be his first time seeing Boston's rivals at Fenway. 'I know this place is going to be rocking,' Marcelo said. 'We'll see what happens.' ___ More AP baseball:
