Isabella González von Hauske is a Mexican investigative journalist who reports in Spanish and English on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border. She has covered power in Mexico for more than a decade — first as a daily political reporter and for the past six years as an investigative reporter on corruption, the military, and organized crime. She is a fellow at the Howard Center for Investigative Journalism and a master's candidate at the University of Maryland's Philip Merrill College of Journalism.

In 2021, after reviewing hundreds of contracts awarded by the army engineers building Felipe Ángeles International Airport, cross-checking suppliers against Mexico's commercial and property registries and visiting their registered tax addresses, she found that the military had paid billions of dollars to shell companies with no verifiable operations and to firms accused of embezzling public funds. Four days after LatinUS published, López Obrador declared his infrastructure projects a matter of national security, putting them beyond public records requests. Mexico's Supreme Court suspended the decree weeks later and struck it down in 2023.

In 2024, she was part of the LatinUS team that exposed how a group of friends and relatives of the president's sons negotiated million-dollar payments with the command of Mexico's military engineering corps and other parts of the federal government. The former president's sons have since come under scrutiny in Washington: the United States revoked Andy López Beltrán's visa in August 2026.

She works in cross-border collaborations. At the Howard Center, she is reporting with the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project on doctors who lost their licenses for serious misconduct in one country and went on to practice in another. This is part of Bad Practice, an investigation spanning some 50 news organizations and built on a shared database of delicensed physicians assembled by scraping national medical registries.

Her reporting is built on documents and data: public records requests under both Mexican and U.S. transparency law, corporate and property registries, field verification, OSINT and analysis in R.

She covered the Senate, education, foreign relations, and the presidency of Andrés Manuel López Obrador; she later reported on national politics for El País México; and since 2020 she has been an investigative reporter at LatinUS.
