What like the FBI? Or homeland security, or the Texas Rangers? I doubt he's going to be able to roll in the national guard or the military without finding a way around Posse Comitatus

I think that the only exemptions that can apply is if the State Government requests it, and I doubt that's going to happen.

If its considered to be in support of the Insurrection Act which is what happened in LA

Or if its a law enforcement situation that revolves around NBC materials.

I can't see him being able to use any of the above to move federal forces in that involve the military unless he can convince the Governor of the State and he's already said he doesn't want the national guard in Chicago.
