Murder is just the killing of people who are liked by those who control the definition of murder. But everyone still agrees murder should be illegal.

Murder is a far brighter line than hate, and therefore a law against it enables far less arbitrary power.

It means ICE officers can kill you but you can't kill ICE officers. This is arguably an even worse asymmetry than the one about speech.
