WASHINGTON—The Supreme Court has agreed to hear the Trump administration’s appeal of a federal appeals court’s ruling that a Sri Lankan refugee claimant enjoys a constitutional right to challenge the procedures leading to his expedited removal order.

On Oct. 18, the high court announced the decision to hear the case cited as Department of Homeland Security v. Thuraissigiam. The justices didn’t provide reasons for their decision, as is their custom.
