Run into opposition
Hello. I found an expression "run into opposition" and am having a difficulty accurately interpreting it.
I found the expression in a news article describing two men (Lawrence Summers and Timothy Geithner) who will be the key figures in the Barack Obama's new "economic team."
The expression was found in the following context: But Geithner has withheld judgment in public on key issues, like ambitious program to modify bad home loans that has run into opposition from White House conservatives.
Does "run into opposition" in this context mean "faced opposition" in this context?
Please help.
Thank you so much in advance.
