I know that the I-864 often gets used in divorce cases as a way of guaranteeing spousal support (see http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/List_of_I-864_case_law),but I've never found a single instance in which the government has sued a sponsor to recover the means-tested benefits that an immigrant has received.
Has this ever happened? If not, it indicates that the government doesn't actually care whether or not an immigrant becomes a public charge, so what's the point of the I-864?
Has the government ever sued anyone under the I-864?
