Feds don't need permission to be there to restore order. I think a 40% rise in murders and other violent crime along with the mayor's unwillingness to do anything about it gives Trump all the reason he needs to send in the feds.

Personally I don't think he should, the best way to show Democrats that their shitty policies don't work is to let them play out fully and fail. But Trump seems to want to do what is right even if it hurts him in the polls, something I can't say for past presidents during my adult life.
