Quoting the article:

>In court filings, attorneys representing the state and Bradley have argued Holland's lawsuit should be dismissed as the trooper has "sovereign immunity" as a member of law enforcement, and that it was a "lawful" traffic stop.

It’s just a sloppy article.

The concept is right but sovereign immunity is about states and between states.

I know it's less likely, but I think the party who made the error may have actually been the attorneys representing the state and Bradley

Huh, interesting. I am very dubious of that quote. IANAL, but I'm pretty sure if they actually filed that in court they would be laughed out of the room. My guess is either the reporters got it wrong or its some AI hallucination. Unfortunately they don't source this claim.
