Tor is legal in the US. You won't likely get in trouble just because you use the Tor browser. However, Tor is not a lawless domain, so you can't use this browser for illegal activities. If you use Tor for buying drugs or weapons, you are held responsible against the law.

Using the Tor browser could be suspicious to your ISP and, therefore, to the police. However, you're not going to get in trouble just because it looks a bit suspicious.
Is it illegal to own Tor browser?
Using Tor to access and browse the dark web is not illegal*. You will however have to be cautious. Surfing the dark web might not be illegal, but visiting certain sites, or making certain purchases, through the dark web is illegal.
Can you get caught on Tor?
There is nothing the Tor developers can do to trace Tor users. The same protections that keep bad people from breaking Tor's anonymity also prevent us from figuring out what's going on.
