"Run foul of (someone or something)" = Va phải, đụng phải ai/cái gì -> Chống đối, phản kháng lại ai/cái gì.

Ví dụ
Audit Department director Nor Salwani Muhammad did not run foul of any law when she recorded proceedings of a meeting which discussed amendments (sự cải tà quy chánh, sửa đổi) to the 1MDB audit report, her former boss Ambrin Buang told the High Court.

“The University reiterates (nhắc lại) its abhorrence (sự ghê tởm) of any action or behavior by students that are inimical (thù địch, độc hại) to the well-being of others and will continue to sanction (phê chuẩn, xử phạt) students who run foul of its rules and regulations.

Till date nothing has come out of the allegations (sự viện lý, luận điệu) made by the erstwhile (xưa kia) CAG Vinod Rai. All it succeeded in doing was scaring away investors who today do not want to open their wallets for the lack of clear intent on part of the government and the fear that they would not get a fair treatment if they run foul of it for some reason in future.
