The vast majority of us will never encounter such a scenario but...

Outside of asking a family member/friend to retrieve your HW wallet and/or seed
What do you do in such a scenario?

While it's generally not recommended, IMO this one of scenario where brainwallet or having encrypted cloud backup may help you.

Yes I have read that brain wallets are not 100% reliable, it still might be a
good idea to have a second HW with some coins and make it an exercise to
memorise the seed. Everyone should do that while still having the actual seed
secured elsewhere.

I cant figure out how I would survive if I had no contacts left in the country they deported me to, with possibly no or limited money and no access to my bank or to my Bitcoin.

Why no access to your bank?
You still have your bank account and you still have your money, deportation doesn't mean confiscation of assets.
Also, you weren't a US citizen in the first place when you opened that so why would the bank care?

Using the example I gave above, the woman was in the US for 33 years and
had built her life there, then unexpectedly she is deported back to India,
when she landed there she must have had only what she had when she was
arrested in the US. Her bank account would not be recognised in India until
she went through the process of getting it transferred, thats not instant though.
