Oh, this is a nasty one. Especially in the 2000s, the United States maintained what were called "black sites" in Europe and the Middle East - that is, secret sites where they could do illegal things. People were disappeared into them and tortured. Being sent to one of these sites was known as "extraordinary rendition" - extraordinary because it was outside the usual reach of the law. That's why the speaker says "I can have you rendered".
It was a bad phase in history, and one I'm not sure is over yet. I'm ashamed to say that my own country, the UK, cooperated with this.
