It is not illegal in the sense that violations result in penalties of any kind. It is; however, in violation of US "Flag Code" as outline in Federal Code, which states:
"When flags of two or more nations are displayed, they are to be flown from separate staffs of the same height. The flags should be of approximately equal size.
International usage forbids the display of the flag of one nation above that of another nation in time of peace."
