The House of Representatives, controlled by Republicans, has remained in recess throughout the shutdown, while the Senate continues to be in session. During this recess, the House has refused to swear in Democratic representative-elect Adelita Grijalva from Arizona, prompting Arizona to file a lawsuit against Johnson for the delay.
