Actually they do have warrant requirements, and those are more limited than for criminal warrants. Also, in California employers (of any size) are required by law to turn away ICE agents unless they have an appropriate warrant, and to provide notice to employees, subject to criminal penalties for non-compliance.
This has nothing to do with the license plate issue, but I wanted to clarify that ICE agents are not quite as legally powerful as they like to present themselves. You might be mixing them with the very broad search powers of Customs and Border Patrol, which is a separate agency and the one that can supposedly conduct searches within 100 miles of any border. Not that being a separate agency makes that better.
