More than 1,000 protesters are expected for the upcoming diplomatic summit meeting between President Barack Obama and Southeast Asian world leaders at Sunnylands in Rancho Mirage in one week.
Protests have been planned over Obama’s aggressive deportation policy, the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement and the dreadful human rights records of some of the visiting nations, according to protest organizers, who estimated how many people will show up. The largest confirmed demonstrations will oppose the Cambodian and Vietnamese governments, but authoritarian leaders from other nations will likely be met with opposition also. Protester groups said they will stand united against the oppression and corruption that is rampant throughout the governments of Southeast Asia.
A lot of Asians – Cambodians, Laotians, Vietnamese – who live in this country, once they get a taste of democracy, and freedom and justice, they look at their home country and begin to wonder if the government over there is the right government,” said Veasna Roeun, of the Cambodia-American Alliance protest group, which expects to bring 500 to 800 people. They will oppose the attendance of Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen, who is widely viewed as a violent dictator.
Obama has invited Sen and other foreign leaders for a special gathering of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, or ASEAN, which includes the countries of Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. An agenda for the summit has not been released.
Presidential visits have become a routine occurrence in the Coachella Valley in recent years, but the US-ASEAN summit will have more moving parts – and more controversial people – than any previous visit. In addition to Obama, the valley will host officials from 10 other nations, each with their own entourages. A horde of protesters and a gaggle of journalists will never be far behind.
The end result, considered as a whole, will be one of the most logistically complex diplomatic gathering operations in the history of the Coachella Valley. Even if Obama decides to spend his nights at Sunnylands, the visiting diplomats are most likely going to stay in nearby hotels, requiring regular motorcades in and out of the Annenburg estate. One local hotel, the Double Tree in Cathedral City, has confirmed it will have increased security for a "large government group" related to the Obama visit, but declined to disclose any other information.
Security for the event will be led by the Secret Service, with assistance from the FBI, the Riverside County Sheriff's Department, the California Highway Patrol and local police departments. Cooperation between these agencies has been well practiced in prior Obama visits, plus past visits by Presidents Dwight Eisenhower, Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush.
"This isn't our first time doing this. We have a lot of history with dignitaries and presidential visits," said Sheriff Stan Sniff. "Generally, everybody ends up — to some greater degree or less degree — playing a roll."
The closest comparison to this summit came in 2013, when a meeting between Obama and Chinese President Xi Jinping drew hundreds of protesters to the gates of Sunnylands. Many of those protesters came from Southern California’s politically active Vietnamese community. Many are expected to return again.
“We are in America, and we appreciate the freedom over here,” said Dr. Huu Vo, president of the Federation of Vietnamese-American Communities of the USA, which expects to send several hundred protesters to the Feb. 15-16 summit. “We want the people in our homeland to have the same privilege – free elections, freedom of religion, freedom of the press, freedom to have unions.”
Considering the members of the US-ASEAN conference, it is no surprise that protest groups are organizing.
Nearly all of the countries attending the summit have objectionable records, said John Sifton, the Asia advocacy director of Human Rights Watch.
For example, Sifton said, Laos is a heavy-handed single-party communist state. The sultan of Brunei – one of the world’s last ruling monarchs – recently enacted laws that punish homosexuality with death by stoning. And Sen, the Cambodian prime minister, is a former Khmer Rouge commander who has been implicated in ethnic cleansing in the 1970s.
“Some of these people are so bad,” Sifton said, “if they were private citizens, they wouldn’t be given visas or entry into the U.S. because of gross human rights abuses.”
Although most of the Sunnylands protests will be directed at Southeast Asian leaders, Obama is drawing some ire of his own.
As many as 300 protesters are planning to demonstrate against the deportation of undocumented Central American immigrants, said Benjamin Wood, an organizer with the Pomona Economic Opportunity Center.
More than 120 immigrants — mostly from El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras — face deportation after being captured last month in a series of raids by the Department of Homeland Security, according to USA Today.
"The current raids against Central American families seeking refuge from violence in their own countries is unfair and a human rights violation," Wood said. "It needs to stop."
Wood said the protest group will also oppose the Trans-Pacific Partnership, or TPP, a trade agreement that will likely be discussed at the summit. The White House has said the TPP will reduce Asian nation taxes on products that were made in the U.S., but critics claim the agreement will allow Asian companies to circumvent the U.S. court system when it comes to environmental, food safety and labor laws.
"If (Obama) wants to sign a trade agreement, that's fine," Wood said. "Just as long as there's protection for labor and the environment."
