Rendition is one of the actions that can be taken after habeus corpus is revoked, a particularly horrible one, IMO, but more generally, one can lose the right to be told the charges against one and to appear in court to dispute being held, and to show that it's being done unlawfully.
People can be put into prison by the government, never charged, and kept there with no showing of any probable cause, much less guilt.
While I can't believe this will hold up in court, it should never have to get to that.
