I started an OP about this a week ago asking what the law states about militarizing a state city outside federal jurisdiction. It's illegal. If he does this, then I don't know what counteractions will be taken. 
“So I think Chicago will be our next and then we'll help with New York,” he said.The president also threatened to “bring in the regular military” for law enforcement purposes — an action that would be illegal under the Posse Comitatus Act, an 1878 law limiting the military’s ability to conduct civilian law enforcement or enforce domestic policy in the United States.The law was enacted in response to the occupation of former confederate states after the American Civil War during the Reconstruction period from 1865 to 1877.Although each state has a National Guard that can be employed for law enforcement in emergency situations at the behest of a state’s governor, National Guard soldiers can’t be used for law enforcement if commanded by federal authorities.
