“Even if the party being sued is a state or an arm of the state, Eleventh Amendment immunity will not apply to a claim, under various circumstances. Immunity may be waived by the state or agency.

Miller, 170 F.3d 641, 646 (6th Cir.1999). Immunity may be waived by Congress. Nelson v. Miller, 170 F.3d at 646 ; Will v. Mich. Dep’t of State Police, 491 U.S. 58, 66 [, 109 S.Ct. 2304 , 105 L.Ed.2d 45 ] (1989).
