Bass told reporters she was "sure" that sports fans visiting Los Angeles for the World Cup or the 2028 Summer Olympics would not be directly affected.
Federal immigration agents have been deployed to several other major cities, including Los Angeles, which will host eight World Cup games, including the host nation's opener and a quarter-final.
Trump has become closely associated with the upcoming World Cup, attending the tournament's draw, where he was awarded a "FIFA peace prize."
"Everyone is incentivized to make this World Cup as safe and inclusive as it can be.
These include the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, a giant 78,000-capacity stadium that has hosted two Olympic Games, and world-famous Venice Beach.
