Sovereign immunity only applies to the individuals that work for the state while executing their job. You can absolutely sue the state, federal agencies, or your town hall. They get sued all the time.
Derek Chauvin is getting the dogshit sued out of him now because he exceeded his duty and no longer qualified under sovereign immunity.
