what happens when one government entity “sues” another one?

For example, in the US the Justice Department just “sued” the state of Texas over the abortion ban. Typically I think of “sueing” for monetary compensation when someone has wronged you in some way, so what does it mean in this context?

Sue can means “to bring a civil suit against”. Civil suits are wide ranging and do no always seek monetary damages, they are simply the branch of law dedicated to non-criminal activity.
