Chicken Run 

An informal expression for the illegal operation of trafficking Hispanic immigrants across the border to the USA or vice versa.

These operations were run by traffickers nicknamed polleros; drivers of trucks modified to hide twenty or more immigrants in its carriage. The trucks are often disguised as delivery vans or oil tankers.
The truck was found to be a chicken run, driving out of Juarez and into the south of Texas. The border patrol has been playing hide-and-seek with these polleros for 2 years.

To perform the chicken-run:
1. Get friend drunk/stoned.
2. Tie their hands in front of them.
3. Peel down their pants at the back just enough so their crack is showing.
4. Insert a small strip of toilet paper into the victim...i mean, friend's brown baby boy button.
5. Set fire to aforementioned TP and, since their hands are tied up so they cant reach back to put it out, they run around for a while like a chicken.
6. Watch and chuckle. Filming the ordeal is good blackmail.
