I'm in decent shape and I couldn't run at full speed with that much weight on me. I do a fair amount of backpacking in the mountains with a 50 lb pack on my back so that isn't conjecture either, I've tried it recently.

Simple physics says you'd also have a harder time starting, stopping, and turning than an unencumbered person. Perhaps you are an exceptional athlete who truly wouldn't be bothered by the extra weight but I don't think that would apply to the vast majority of people. Your average person would definitely struggle and I doubt most ICE agents are going to fall into the exceptional category of anything but racism and moral bankruptcy.
