The Mall of America has filed a lawsuit against the Black Lives Matter group to block the protesters from holding a demonstration at the mall on one of the busiest shopping days of the year.

Minnesota's Mall of America, which is the largest mall in the nation, is suing the group and eight of its organizers to prevent a Black Lives Matter protest that is planned there for Wednesday.

"Mall of America supports BLM's First Amendment right to free expression, but courts have clearly ruled that right may not be exercised on private property without the consent of the property owner," reads a request for a temporary restraining order filed in Hennepin County, according to The Washington Post. "To protect Mall of America's guests, tenants, and employees, this consent has not been given, and if BLM holds its demonstration at Mall of America despite the lack of consent, Mall of America will suffer irreparable harm."

In the suit, the Mall of America argues that this is the third time in 13 months that BLM has planned a demonstration at the mega complex. The first one was held on Dec. 20, 2014 when up to "1,500 people" came to the mall. As a result, "an estimated 24,000 guests" did not visit Mall of America on that date.

According to the suit, the protest will hurt the sales of stores located in the mall, which would in turn affect mall employees, especially workers who depend on commissions, tips and bonus.

Although the presiding judge in the case did make a decision yet, Black Lives Matter leaders say the protest will go on no matter what.

"We're not going to be canceling the protest," said Miski Noor, one of the organizers named in the suit, to reporters after the hearing in Hennepin County District Court, reports the Star Tribune. "Us not showing up and us not speaking would be the mall winning."

Black Lives Matter Minneapolis also issued a press release denouncing the lawsuit.

"In an unprecedented attempt at halting a peaceful gathering, the Mall of America has sued 8 activists to compel them to 'immediately' post messages on social media and send out a mass text message announcing that the December 23rd event is cancelled," it states. "If the motion is approved by a judge, activists could face jail time for refusing to make social media posts or send texts in accordance with the demands of a private corporation."

BLM protesters plan to hold the demonstration to demand justice for Jamar Clark, a 24-year-old unarmed black man who was fatally shot by two Minneapolis police on Nov. 15. The Minnesota Department of Public Safety's Bureau of Criminal Apprehension said Clark was a suspect in a domestic violence case and that he interfered when first responders arrived on the scene, reports The Atlantic. "At some point during an altercation that ensued between the officers and Mr. Clark, an officer discharged his weapon, striking Mr. Clark," said state authorities.

However, several eye witnesses say Clark was handcuffed and lying flat on his stomach when he was shot in the head.
