Aren't we reading about the US government denying that he has 1st amendment rights when the US government is restricted from denying those rights by the 1st amendment? The amendment doesn't specify US citizens get a positive right, it limits the government itself

This is what I find hilarious about the sorts of comments you're replying to. It doesn't make sense unless you refuse to think about it and apply a modicum of consistent logic to it.
