Tim, I think you are splitting hairs. Enforcing a civil judgment is not enforcing speech, it is enforcing any judgment. OJ Simpson won his trial, lost a civil trial and then the judgment he had against him was enforced. But the government is only enforcing a legal judgment, Not murder.

Another way, My speech can cost me money. If I call my best customer a vulgar name, he responds by stopping purchasing from me and I go out of business the government doesn’t give me my money back. I pay the consequence. So yes the government can enforce a claim that may have arisen from speech, because the first amendment does not protect freedom from consequences. Just from Tyranny.
