A question about due process

If Habeas Corpus is nullified or ignored and a US citizen, naturalized or native born, is arrested and denied due process, he or she is then spirited away to El Salvador, Rwanda or Libya, what recourse does that person have?

I suspect that after this is activated, that we're only a half step away from full Martial Law. At that point, God help us all.

If Trump pardons Chauvin for Floyd's murder, even though the state charges remain, there will undoubtedly be massive protests. The Proud Boys will use that to cause violence at night, after the demonstrations. Or the police will just insight the riot. At that point, Trump could declare Martial Law.

That's only one example. If any unforeseen situation results in massive protests and even one becomes violent, Trump and Steve Miller will use that opportunity to declare Martial Law and none of us will have rights.

that's the only way he can prove to his dictator "friends" that he is as tough and stupid as they are.
He never has given a shit about Democracy and never will. He is as bad as any dictator in history.........or at least he wants to be.
His overblown ego demands it.
I can only say "Fuck trump!!" He needs to go away, I care not how.
