Kate del Castillo fears the Mexican government is watching her every move.

The star actress who brokered Sean Penn's Rolling Stone interview with reputed drug kingpin Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman adds she's now afraid to set foot in her native homeland.

In an interview with the Univision weekly news program "Aqui y Ahora," del Castillo insists she fears her phone conversations and text messages with everyone from family members to attorneys in Mexico are now being monitored.

"You hear it when you go in," said del Castillo, a naturalized U.S. citizen no residing in Los Angeles. "In everything, I know that I'm completely wiretapped. I think (the tapping) is by the Mexican government, I'm almost positive."

Money Laundering

Mexican officials have previously admitted investigating del Castillo for possible money laundering, with Attorney General Arely Gomez going on record with suspicions she may have received illicit funds from El Chapo's Sinaloa drug cartel for her tequila business.

While del Castillo has staunchly denied those allegations, authorities have let it be known that she would be detained for questioning if she ever returned to Mexico.

Some have speculated some government officials may be so aggressive in their probe of del Castillo out of fear El Chapo may have shared information with her of wrongdoing on the part of certain authorities.

"The truth is, I don't know why (there's) a terrible witch hunt against me," del Castillo said. "And I hope that things get settled very soon."

Del Castillo Blasts Trump

In the Univision interview, del Castillo was also quizzed about a series of recent tweets she posted where she compared Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump to Hitler and blasted him as "vulgar, bellicose, racist," and "egotistical."

Del Castillo called on all Mexicans and Latinos to make sure they're at the polls for the Nov. 8 general election.

"I would like to tell all Mexicans, all Latinos to get out and vote," she said. "Because the African-Americans, something happens and everyone is there and everybody supports each other. We lack unity as Mexicans, as Latinos ... I truly think we need to raise our voices. We are very fearful. The Trump campaign is based on fear."
