“Anti-war Democrat Representative Clement Vallandigham of Ohio was the one expelled beyond Confederate lines in 1863 for giving an anti-war speech.”
I’m sure many others were as well. Stephen Douglas, however, was not.

It was a singular case. Clement Vallandigham was the opponent of Lincoln's war who was expelled behind Confederate lines in 1863 pursuant to a military commission convened by General Burnside. There was not, and never has been, any provision in law to expel any citizen behind enemy lines, or anywhere else.
In Ex parte Vallandigham, 68 U.S. 243 (1863), the U.S. Supreme Court held it lacked jurisdiction to hear an appeal from the military commission.
