Not really - you seemed to suggest that the First Amendment would have protected it? But it's there absolutely on sufferance of the owners of the wall on which it has been painted, without permission from that owner. Justbecause their reason for removing it is dubious - doesn't change their right to that removal for whatever reason.
Now - had it been hanging in a gallery and the council insisted it be removed - that would be an infringement of the artist's right to free expression.
