But the moment he's tried in a US court or lands in the US presumably he has those rights.

We don't treat tourists under a different Constitution or deny them 1st amendment rights.

Does he? This depends on extradition and not necessarily the 1st amendment.

The extradition request was for normal federal charges where the first amendment pretty clearly applies.
