You can, but they still take passive damage from the lack of life support. If they're low health you'll need to unbanish them when they're near the life support stations to let them heal up. Placing a cataclym on the life support station will block them from healing.

Note that this is more of a problem on lower level missions. In my experience on sortie defections their health is boosted enough that you can just banish them and run along until they get to the ship, but you should still watch them anyways.
