What options does the federal government have in those cities, legally? How long are they going to let this go on?

They’ll either need to enact the insurrection act of 1807 which gives clearance to deploy Military in domestic operations to restore order and put down riots, revolts, rebellions, and other unlawful behavior.

Or declare a state of Martial Law which essentially means Military is in charge and Local and State Governments are sidelined for the duration of the deceleration.

Before or after the rioters torch and loot historic landmarks, and businesses?

I don’t know what he’s waiting for. But it’s clear Local and State Governments in several areas at least are unwilling or unable to contain this.
