Fair enough, this is what I've been able to find so far. It would seem to suggest it hasn't happened technically.

A "U.S. person" (citizen or legal resident) has constitutional protections against being removed from the country through rendition, and there have been no incidents to suggest the contrary. In fairness, though, the ghastly case of Maher Arar -- a Syrian-born Canadian citizen who convincingly says he was detained at New York's JFK Airport, handed off to Syria and tortured -- is way too close for comfort.
Again, more breaking the spirit of the law if not the actual rule.
And they have violated their charter on MANY other issues as already pointed out, and they do 'operate' in the States in other capacities. It's very possible they have violated this one too.
Again, the fact that they are other people's citizens and not their own doesn't really make it any better. In a lot of ways, it makes it worse.
