Yes. Rioting, gang violence, attempts to deface or destroy government property, and dead children in the streets are not being addressed by the Woke Mayor and Governor, who are apparently asleep on the job.
There are clear guidelines for "sending in people". Ideally, when Mayors and Governors are sane, they request help from the feds when mobs and riots and gang violence are out of control, as they clearly are in NYC. This Governor and this Mayor are intent on being WOKE, instead of protecting their citizens and have defiled the oaths they took upon being sworn into office.
The reason this is happening is the chuckle-headed clownish decision to defund the police, and to remove the plainclothes undercover officers from duty there. The plainclothes undercover force has since been restored...that's how bad it got with gun violence.
There are federal agencies already, with offices in NYC. The FBI, ATF and DHS all have offices there. Federal Agents do NOT need permission from Governors or Mayors to go where their jobs demand they go.
DHS is tasked by the law which was created by Congress to protect federal buildings. If they do not, then they are derelict in their duties, (like the Governors and Mayors in these radicalized states and cities). They do not need permission from anyone to perform this duty.
Further, "Under the direction of the Secretary of Homeland Security, the Secret Service is authorized to detect and arrest any person who violates—
… any of the laws of the United States relating to electronic fund transfer frauds, access device frauds, false identification documents or devices, and any fraud or other criminal or unlawful activity in or against any federally insured financial institution; except that the authority conferred by this paragraph shall be exercised subject to the agreement of the Attorney General and the Secretary of Homeland Security and shall not affect the authority of any other Federal law enforcement agency with respect to those laws.
So, that means if someone in a city commits fraud with a wire transfer or uses false ID to commit a crime, that is a violation of federal law, and federal agents have to ask NO ONE for permission to go in and arrest the criminal."

ATF is supposed to "target, identify, and dismantle criminal enterprises with ties to violent crime, that traffic illicit liquor or contraband tobacco in interstate commerce; seize and deny their access to assets and funds; and prevent their encroachment into the legitimate alcohol or tobacco industry."
The FBI is charged with finding and jailing criminals of all sorts, including local and foreign intelligence crimes, and finding and jailing terrorists of all sorts and is supposed to work with the Department of Justice to accomplish those goals.
The DEA or drug enforcement agency can be deployed at any time, anywhere, also without permission
U.S. Marshals, also deployed in Portland: "the Marshals occupy a uniquely central position in the federal justice system. It is the enforcement arm of the federal courts, and as such, it is involved in virtually every federal law enforcement initiative.
Presidentially appointed U.S. Marshals direct the activities of 94 districts — one for each federal judicial district. More than 3,752 Deputy Marshals and Criminal Investigators form the backbone of the agency. Among their many duties, they apprehend more than half of all federal fugitives, protect the federal judiciary, operate the Witness Security Program, transport federal prisoners and seize property acquired by criminals through illegal activities."
Since a federal courthouse in Portland was firebombed there, with people locked inside by the rioters from the OUTSIDE this is definitely part of their jurisdiction.
In NYC, as in Chicago, the gang violence needs to be controlled. The federal agencies are already there.
Cuomo and DiBlasio are just killing more people if they can find a judge anywhere who will take this issue up in court.
