You are correct, however missing a few key distinctions.
If going literal, Congress didn't make a law or throw the guy in jail. The DOJ did.
But courts have ruled of course it applies to states, cities, and lots of other things not just Congress.
The key distinction here is that when not a citizen, rather a visa, green card, etc.. you are required to sign on the dotted line with lots of different stipulations. End dates, status, background info, checkina, tax requirements, and on and on. It isn't about the right to free speech, it is about violating the terms of your stay.
Currently, in this one case, the argument is he lied or didn't disclose his background. I'm not saying that's true or not, FYI.
Citizens are supposed to get their rights not trampled on, others do not have such a guarantee. Hence why deportations are a thing.
We simply cannot allow people from other countries to come here, use speech to drum support, then tear down the nation. That's fucking asinine and the opposite of what we should be encouraging.
