congresswoman told my colleague stephanie ruhle what happened in atlanta is a day that we saw coming. two senior administration officials are telling nbc news president biden and vice president harris will be meeting with asian american community leaders when they visit atlanta, georgia, tomorrow. in washington, the house just did something we don't see very often when it comes to major legislation. it passed a bill with pretty broad bipartisan support. we are talking about the violence against women act that expired two years ago. one of the bill's most vocal supporters, congresswoman debby dingell will share her experience with domestic violence right before that vote and she's going to join me ahead to talk about it. we got a big headline from the biden administration. according to a senior administration official, the president is set to meet his goal of 100 million shots in arms in his first 100 days and he is set do it as early as today. more than 40 days early. we will start in atlanta with the latest on the deadly spa shootings. kathy park is on the ground in atlanta. tom winter is following the investigation very closely. kathy, let me start with you on the ground. the suspect was supposed to appear in court next hour. it was pushed back. do we know why? >> reporter: craig, that is the big question. it was kind of a big breaking news story this morning. we were kind of scratching our heads to figure out why. we have been putting in a lot of calls to get answers. all we know is that this zoom arraignment that was supposed to take place today has been postponed for a later date. that is the big question at this hour. craig, i will go into more on the ongoing investigation. right now, the suspect is -- according to authorities, the suspect told them this was not racially motivated. he is blaming a sex addiction for lashing out at these three spas. one of them is right behind me. there's a growing makeshift memorial. i have to say, craig, the greater atlanta area is reeling from this tragedy. the asian american community is quite frankly in a lot of pain. this has only elevated the importance of bringing about change and stopping a wave of attacks around asian american communities as well as asian americans just coast to coast. >> tom, authorities have been extremely careful when talking about a motive so far. i want to read part of a statement atlanta police put out overnight. the statement reads in part, quote, investigators are taking a hard look at what motivated the shooter. our investigation is far from over, and we have not ruled anything out. what else are investigators looking for, tom, to figure out what ultimately motivated this guy? what else do we know about where the investigation is headed? >> the best two bits of evidence they have at this point are, one, look into obviously how he did it from the standpoint of a weapon. they have that weapon. they have been able to determine when it was purchased. it was purchased on the day of the shooting spree. they looked into whether it was purchased legally. it was. you check that box. then the second thing is, has this person made any statements? we know that robert aaron long, who is the person they have charged with murder in this case, in fact has spoken with them, and police say he did the crime. as kathy detailed, why he did it. that's another key bit of evidence. moving forward from here, you want to start to establish what did he say, if anything, to anybody leading up to the shooting? what did he say while he was conducting the shooting, if he said anything? what do you find on his phone, devices, what websites was he visiting, who was he communicating with leading up to the attack, did he tell him why he did this, was there communication ahead of time? does that square with his statements? that's the reason why the atlanta police department put out statement they did. you have a lot of information so far. does it square with what other people observed and heard? i think that's going to be the big question going forward. i think that's the reason why the idea of this being also a hate crime or a bias crime is something that is still on the table, because you want to do a thorough investigation and you want to make sure that that's not the case here. if so, then you have decisions to make as far as charging him with a potential hate crime. i think that's down the road. they want to get all that information. that's where the investigation stands now. >> tom winter, keep us posted on the investigation. kathy park on the ground for us there. authorities not calling what happened in atlanta a hate crime. it has happened as this country is seeing a spike in violence and discrimination against asian americans. that's exactly what house lawmakers are looking into right now. prominent asian american figures are testifying before a house subcommittee. jo ling kent is following this hearing for us. i want to bring in cynthia cheng co-founder of stop aapi hate. this was a hearing scheduled before the massacre in atlanta. the committee says the last time there was a congressional hearing focused on anti-asian hate was in 1987, as far as they can tell. what are the overarching concerns you are hearing? what's come out of this hearing? >> reporter: the concern is more than about just education and awareness. it's about action steps. that's what we are hearing from lawmakers right now as they make some of the opening statements. that's what we expect to hear based on some of the testimony that we have gotten an early look at from daniel day kim as well as john yang from aajc, of course senator tammy duckworth as well. i want to play you sound we heard from congressman steve cohen. >> congress sees you, we stand with you. we will do everything in our power to protect you. any asian hate did not begin with the covid-19 pandemic and will not end when it is over. all the pandemic did was exacerbate prejudices that have a long and ugly history in america. it's an execution for some to act on those. >> reporter: stop aapi hate said 70% of the incidents that have been reported are being reported by women. a lot of these incidents are happening at businesses and on public streets and in parks and online, this pervasive sense of discrimination, these incidents being reported of harassment, assault, all of this coming to a head and really calling and elevating this hearing to another level here. the vice president and the president will be meeting with asian american leaders when they get to atlanta for what was supposed to be a tour to promote the covid relief bill. that's shifted in some of its focus according to our white house unit to really cover some of the issues. members of the community are looking for specific action steps in terms of how hate crime information is collected, documented and, of course, what is being done about this because for so long, asian americans have largely gone invisible and been ignored. our community has not been heard when it comes to these racial slurs and harassment and discrimination and assault. it's clear, they put out data showing that one in three asian americans has experienced some sort of racial slur. that's more than any other racial group. and yet for so long, it has gone really under the radar, if you will. we are seeing the impact on the economic level as well. a lot to cover in this hearing today. it's expected to go for several hours. we expect to hear from some of the big newsmakers in the coming minutes. >> keep an eye and ears on the hearing. i want to turn to cynthia. since last march, your group, stop aapi hate, has collected nearly 3,800 self-reports of verbal abuse, harassment, physical assault. women reported 68% of these incidents. i would imagine, as is usually the case with surveys like these, there's probably a significant amount that does not go reported. the hearing today, what would you like to see come out of it? >> well, first of all, thank you for having me on the show. i'm really pleased that we were invited. our partners there representing stop aapi hate and so many community organizations who as you pointed out have been working on this issue for decades. it's important that today that we listen to what communities have been recommending, which includes really, i think, disavowing and condemning anti-asian racism and acknowledging that this has been a part of our history. it's important also to back that up with specific actions. for many of us, it means supporting community-based safety initiatives that we have been working on for decades. but we need the support to be able to provide services, to do the advocacy work in our local communities where much of this anti-asian violence and attacks and racism is really showing up. and this is the kind of work that needs to really be supported and scaled. >> as you know, the president and vice president are going to meet with asian american community leaders there in atlanta tomorrow. what do you want to hear from them? what can they do right now? what can they do long-term to help? >> well, it's been very, very important for the president of the united states to come out in his early days in office to condemn and disavow anti-asian racism and to conduct listening sessions. i think it's more than symbolic to have our nation's leader go to the site where there was a mass murder, where the majority of the victims were asian american women, to stand with the community at this time of grief and mourning and to commit to do more, which is to use the levers of federal government to dedicate resources and attention to this issue in a very committed and systematic, sustained effort. it means a whole lot. >> i want to ask you about one more thing before we go. nbc news talked to a number of experts who argue that racism and sexism must be considered in the case there in atlanta. one ethnic studies professor makes this point. this is part of the point. killing asian american women to eliminate a man's temptation speaks to the history of the objectification of asian women as variations of the temptress whose value is only in relation to men's fantasies and desires. this is horrifying. stop fetish-izing us. how much of a factor is this not just in atlanta but some of the other incidents your organization has been reporting on over the past year? >> that's right. i couldn't agree with that statement. the leading narrative was this was likely not a racially motivated hate incident, an act of violence. the fact of the matter is that race and gender are all factors when you think about the experiences, especially of asian women and other women of color, sexualized violence is part of our experience. i think that it's really important with the atlanta case and other incidents to consider that those are very much the intersections that we live in those intersections and it defines our experience here in the united states. >> we will have to leave it there. thank you so much, cynthia, jo ling kent. keep us posted on the hearing. breaking in the last 30 minutes, the fbi washington field office released new information and new videos of suspects tied to the deadly riot on january 6th. we should note the material on the videos is violent and it is disturbing as well. the fbi says that the videos show assaults on officers at the u.s. capitol. ken, i know we just got these videos in a short time ago. so far, what have you been able to glean? what more are we learning about the riot from the newly released videos? >> reporter: craig, what we are learning is the fbi is seeking the public's help to identify people who they say assaulted capitol and other police officers. in this case, they are showing ten individuals that they really want the identities of. they have arrested more than 300 people, including 65 people they have charged with assaulting police officers. there are 250 individuals on their website they have not been able to identify, including these ten in these videos. it's remarkable, because some of the images are very clear photos of the faces of these people. you would think that the fbi would have the ability to find out who these people are. the technology is not at that state. they need the help of the public. they are urging people to call the fbi, to go to fbi.gov/capitolviolence and look through other pictures. it helped them catch and charge two men who they accused of assaulting brian sicknick who later collapsed and died. this is important. they are asking for the public's health. this is a crucial part of the investigation. this may be one of the most filmed crime scenes in history. they are taking full advantage of that to get this out to the public. >> i want to re-rack some of the individual. if you look at some of the individuals, if you know this guy -- if you see that picture, it's pretty easy -- you would think it's easy to identify some of these folks. i would assume that's why the fbi is putting it out now. you have to wonder why they wouldn't have put out some of the pictures and videos sooner. some of these are -- it's pretty obvious who some of the people are, if you know them or are related to them. go ahead. >> reporter: i had that thought myself. why didn't they put this out sooner? it may be an issue of organizing the video and separating it. they had more than 100,000 pieces of digital evidence to go through. this is a massive -- >> that guy. he is not wearing a mask. >> reporter: it won't take long for anyone who knows these individuals who sees this video to identify them. the fbi is urging that they call immediately. >> thank you. wanted to make sure we got those pictures up, kept them up for folks to try to identify some of the individuals. thanks. remember that initial goal of the biden administration, 100 million shots in arms in the first 100 days? they may hit that target early, we are talking today. the nation's top doctors are making another house call on the hill. we will check in on that hearing as well. the house is getting ready to vote on two immigration bills. they don't address the surge in crossings we are seeing along the southern border. we will go live to where migrant families continue to arrive every day. what that city is seeing and what officials there say they need coming up. woo! you are busy... working, parenting, problem solving. at new chapter vitamins we've been busy too... innovating, sourcing organic ingredients, testing them and fermenting. fermenting? yeah like kombucha or yogurt. and we formulate everything so your body can really truly absorb the natural goodness. that's what we do, so you can do you. new chapter wellness, well done. dr. fauci on capitol hill this morning as a dozen states are seeing an increase in cases. dr. fauci testifying before the senate health committee. you see dr. walensky there, the cdc director there. other top biden administration health officials testifying as well at this very moment. the hearing comes as we are learning of a significant milestone on the vaccine front. president biden poised to meet a huge goal that he set when he took office. he is set to talk about it this afternoon. kristin welker is there at 1600 pennsylvania avenue. also with us is dr. peter hotez, the dean of the national school of tropical medicine at baylor college of medicine. he is the author of a book, "preventing the next pandemic." tell us more about this milestone on the vaccine front? i would imagine the president will take the victory lap. >> reporter: it wouldn't be surprising. this is what we are hearing, that the president is poised to reach that goal that he laid out, 100 million doses in the arms of people within 100 days. we are on his 58th day. he will reach that goal as early as today, possibly tomorrow. think are vaccinated 2 to 2.5 million people every day. we know that president biden is going to make remarks later on this afternoon where he is going to talk about the progress that has been made on vaccines. officials won't say explicitly what he will say. the bottom line though, craig, he will talk about the fact that they are on pace to exceed that initial benchmark that they laid out. it's worth noting that you have some of the president's critics saying, look, this was always an attainable goal given the pace of vaccinations. the question becomes, will he be able to double this within the first 100 days? can he do what is really a struggle right now, which is getting vaccines into all communities, particularly communities of color and other communities where there is scrutiny and basically people who don't have faith in the vaccine? trying to restore confidence in the vaccine. you know the administration has been trying to implement a campaign to do exactly that. will they be successful at doing that? will they be able to reach those communities who right now don't have good access to vaccines or simply who don't have good information about how to get vaccinated? that continues to be one of the key goals and one of the key challenges for this administration. we avenue we will get an update later today. peter alexander will be in the room when the president speaks. we will put some questions to him at that event. >> thank you. again, 100 million in 100 days, you have to wonder if the administration could potentially double that. maybe we see 200 million in the first 100 days. in terms of the significance of the achievement, what say you? >> what happened was when the president took office, he made this announcement, this commitment of 100 million doses in 100 days. those of us in the scientific community were pleased he made that commitment. what it meant was that we could fully vaccinate the american people by the fall. the only problem was as january progressed, it became clear that this variant from the united kingdom was rapidly accelerating. we saw the data coming out of the uk to show it's more transmissible and it's more lethal as well. we have paper that came out showing higher hospitalizations. it meant calling an audible. we had to ask for an adjustment to do this by late spring, early summer. quite honestly, the white house responded. they recognized that what we were saying was right, that we have to double or triple the rate of vaccinations to around 3 million americans every day. they are rapidly moving towards that. that's really important, because that will save a lot of lives given how rapidly the variant is spreading across the country. the only question now is this, it's clear that we will have lots of vaccine supply available from the different manufacturers by june. it's how we navigate now the rest of march, april and may. will we have the supply to continue vaccinating moving toward that 3 million vaccinations a day? that's the big unknown right now. >> reportedly, we are doing 2.5 million vaccinations every day now. while i have you, i want to ask you, the effort to get the, shall we say, vaccine skeptics out there to actually get the shot in their arm. what more can this administration be doing to accomplish that? i thought about enlisting black churches specifically, enlisting houses of worship in the hispanic community. what more could the administration be doing -- we should point out a lot of the people who are skeptical are republican voters. how do you get more folks to get the shot? >> the most recent poll is quite interesting. when the vaccination campaign started, the vaccine hesitancy in the black and brown communities was high. a number of us went on constantly radio programs and try to understand what their concerns are and talk this through. that's had an impact. the vaccine hesitancy rate is going down in black and brown communities. it's more now a matter of access, i think, than hesitancy. although, there's still pockets we have to work on. the big vaccine hesitant group right now are what several polls are calling republicans. this arose in 2015. it began -- the anti-vaccine movement became linked to extreme conservatives on the political right. unfortunately, now it is mainstream in the republican party. a central platform of the republican party now is anti-science and campaigning not only against vaccine but masks and social distancing. this is now going to be really tough. i have been trying to go on conservative talk networks whenever i can and cable news networks. i think what's got to happen is the biden administration needs to work as hard as it can to reach across the aisle and find leading republican voices to help take this on. >> we will leave it there. kristin welker, thanks to both of you. the illinois governor will announce his state's plan for reopening. it comes as more state and local governments continue to loosen restrictions. the governor's announcement is a day after chicago saw a big test of its protocols that are in place. meagan fitzgerald is in the windy city following this story. the test was st. patrick's day, typically the scene there in chicago. you were able to follow city inspectors wednesday during the celebrations. what did you learn? what did you see? >> reporter: craig, that's right. i could tell you the city is well aware that there is the potential of another wave here. they also know that businesses are hurting. what we have seen here is this proactive approach of enforcing these covid-19 guidelines here. the protocols that are in place. we saw these in inspectors making these unannounced visits, looking for things like crowd size. they are making sure that these establishments are operating at 50% capacity or a maximum of 50 people inside. we talked to an irish pub owner who got cited. he expressed his frustration. >> my occupancy is 49. i have been under that all day long. i've been managing through it in a small pub environment. you are supposed to keep six feet between people. it's a pub. people are moving around. they are shuffling around like that today. the department of revenue came in and issued two tickets for social distancing, because there was too many people at the bar. >> reporter: frustration, sure. the city says by and large, their process has been successful. the last year, they have done thousands of these unannounced visits. only about 5% of the establishments have been in violation. they say they attribute that to the fact that they have been inundating the owners with information, letting them know about the guidelines and the inspectors will stop by. >> thank you. right now, the house getting ready to vote on two immigration bills. neither of the bills deals directly with the spike in border crossings. up next, we will check in on what officials and volunteers are seeing on the ground in one border town at the center of the surge. k up by q3. yeah...uh... doug?

dreamers, the other includes protections for farm workers. >> this is a very special day for us. in fact, weather permitting, we would have been on the steps of the capitol to say to the world that we are making a very big difference in how we respect the beautiful diversity of america, how we respect the fact that immigration is the constant reinvigeration. we have new reporting. a shift on who is allowed to come into the united states. dasha burns has made her way to texas. tell us about the new reporting and how local organizations are helping the migrant families. >> reporter: the biden administration has been saying and trying to say loudly that the border is closed. they say only unaccompanied minors are allowed to stay here. everyone else, single individuals, family units are largely being expelled. as we have been here, we have watched as customs and border patrol buses brought dozens of migrant families, releasing them from custody right here. one just showed up a couple of hours ago. they largely are going to take shelter with sister norma and catholic charities. some are taking buses and trains to other parts of the country. what is going on? there has not been a substantive policy shift. what we hear from sources here is that there has been a reality shift here on the ground as more migrant families are being allowed into the u.s. this is happening because mexico has recently said they cannot take families with children younger than 6 years old. they say it's due to -- we are told it's due to capacity issues in mexico. the u.s. right now is accepting families with children under 6. as we have been talking to sister norma, she saw this change start around the time of joe biden's inauguration. we did see in a statement from secretary mayorkas said, mexico is increasing capacity to receive families. we reached out to the white house asking how they are addressing this. they said they wouldn't comment on what their exchanges with the country are. they did note the individuals, families being processed are going to have a court date assigned. they are not necessarily going to be allowed to stay here. craig, we got access to sister norma's shelter. we saw families with young children. she tells us she's had as many as 600 people in her shelter. there are overflow shelters around this area. those who are taking the migrants in are telling us they expect to see the numbers increase in the coming weeks. >> dasha burns on the ground there in texas with new reporting. thank you. prosecutors and defense lawyers back to questioning

child. mao congress is taking direct action to try to help americans facing experiences like what congresswoman dingell went through, what she talked about there on wednesday. the house just voting to reauthorize the violence against women act, two years after it expired. all democrats backed the bill. 29 republicans joined them. debby dingell joins me now with more on the real world implications of this bill. congresswoman, we could only play a fraction of your story that you shared. you clearly have a deep connection to this bill. why did you feel compelled to share your personal experience? >> good morning, craig. it's really hard for me to talk about. i didn't talk about it for years, quite frankly. but when we were all sitting on the floor, john lewis, who was a very close and close to john knew that i had had that experience. the first time i really spoke about it publically was when we had the sit in on the house floor. people look at someone like me and think, domestic violence would never happen in a family like hers. when i called the police, they didn't answer. they wouldn't even come to help. i try to put a face on it. people really need to know, it's more real to too many people than people realize. no child should live through what i lived through. >> the bill tries to help stop domestic abuse, violence, sexual harassment against women and girls. more than two dozen of your republican colleagues in the house voted for the bill. with democrats in control of the senate, are you hopeful that it gets a vote and passes after not getting a vote under previous leadership? >> i'm going to be working closely with colleagues on both sides of the aisle to try to get that to happen. quite frankly, it's one of my provisions that many republicans are opposed to which is one that would keep guns out of the hands of convicted stalkers of someone. i know what happened. my husband slept with a gun under his pillow until the day he died. my father shouldn't have had a gun. i know what happens when there's a gun in a situation loaded -- emotional situation where the gun can become a weapon if it can become something that kills people. what i'm trying to do is to keep people safe but not actually take away the second amendment. those that are responsible who don't have emotional issues, i don't want to do anything. i don't want another woman or child or man to die. that's what i'm trying to help in this bill. >> to be clear -- i'm glad you brought up that provision. i read that is the -- among the opposition, that seems to be the chief complaint. we are talking about convicted stalkers. we are not talking about accused stalkers. >> we are talking convicted. it demonstrated that they are a danger. that's the only person -- someone that's hurt someone, someone that has threatened, that's been convicted shouldn't have access to a gun. >> it's, of course, women's history month. hard to ignore the pain that so many folks are feeling after eight people, including six women of asian descent lost their lives. i want to play something that your colleague said wednesday. >> this crime has elements that we are trying to address here in congress. gun violence, violence against women and the rise of violence we are witnessing against the aapi community. as a woman who is black and korean, i'm aware how it peels to be erased or ignored and how the default position when violence is committed against women of color or women is to defer from confronting the hate that is often the motivation. >> congresswoman dingell, does what happened in atlanta speak to something larger going on in our country right now? >> i'm going to answer this very carefully, craig. we have law enforcement officers, i'm grateful to the capitol police that kept us safe on january 6th. but we do need to look at how the shooter was treated in atlanta. let's be honest. if that had been a black man, i'm not sure he would be alive today. i think she spoke from her heart about the way that she has been treated. we have to look at how sometimes people are profiled. we need to ensure everybody is treated equally. when you look at what happened in wisconsin -- [ no audio ] a white man walked down the street with an assault weapon who had murdered people and was offered water. she's speaking from her heart about the way that she has seen people treated. we have to find a way to have uncomfortable conversations without saying that all law enforcement is bad, because they're not. they keep us safe every single day. i'm very grateful to them, because i have had a lot of death threats because of what i have done under violence against women. we need to find a way in this country to have those uncomfortable conversations so we can deal with some of those issues. >> congresswoman dingell, always a pleasure. thank you so much. >> thank you, craig. this morning, another historic first. the first female vice president just swore in deb haaland as secretary of the
