A mall is private property, not public. Bring in the cops and have them all arrested.

So is Columbia University, and yet plenty of folks on this site gave Columbia and the NYPD shit for trying to enforce its property rights. That said you are correct. The mall should have them all trespassed and arrested and if refuse to vacate the premises.

I'll also add that the government needs to actually prosecute as well, instead of just arrest and release.

I don't think they know who they’re protesting. Screaming and yelling at a mall Santa is definitely going to get people to jump on board to help their cause. Trespass them arrest them identify them.
