A federal immigration agent shot and injured a man in North Austin yesterday, according to authorities, leading to protests into the evening.

Why it matters: Austin became the latest scene of violence involving ICE agents as President Trump pushes to boost deportations.

The latest: As of 10pm last night, Austin police had arrested some protesters gathered at the site of the shooting and after state troopers fired pepper balls into a crowd, per CBS Austin.

Zoom in: Austin immigration attorney Kate Lincoln-Goldfinch, who said she is representing the injured man, identified him as Wilber Rafael Garces Perez, a 28-year-old Venezuelan national, per CBS News. (She has also spelled his first name as Wilbur in her social media posts.)

• She said he was shot in his car while making a DoorDash delivery — and had no criminal history, per the Austin American-Statesman. She said he has lived in Austin about two years.
• He was released from Dell Seton Medical Center at about 4:30pm and transferred to ICE custody, Lincoln-Goldfinch posted on social media.
• As of yesterday evening, his family did not know where he was being held, she posted.

Catch up quick: The shooting occurred at about 1pm, at the intersection of Anderson Square and U.S. 183.

• Chief of Austin-Travis County EMS Robert Luckritz said that he believed the man suffered one gunshot wound, to the torso.

What they're saying: "I am very angry and extremely disappointed that a person was shot on the streets of Austin by ICE," Austin Mayor Kirk Watson posted on X.

• "With the rogue nature of ICE and the chaos we're seeing fomented by ICE, there's no reason to be surprised," he wrote.

The other side: Federal authorities will investigate the shooting, the Department of Homeland Security said last night.

• "The illegal alien's condition is stable, and he is in federal custody pending removal," per a post from DHS.

Zoom out: The shooting comes less than three months after an ICE agent shot and killed a Mexican national and longtime Houston resident who was driving to work.

In the era of "Ozempic face," planning ahead might look like saving some fat before losing weight.

What's happening: "GLP-1 patients can have liposuction prior to their weight loss journey, bank their fat, and when they reach their goal weight they can treat their Ozempic butt/breast/face with their own fat," Johnny Franco, an Austin-based plastic surgeon, told Real Self earlier this year.

• "Fat banking" is one trend the outlet reports will define 2026.

How it works: Fat transfer involves surgically removing fat from one part of a patient's body and injecting it into another part. For example, fat taken from the abdomen could be later injected into the face to plump cheek volume.

Reality check: This isn't a mainstream option yet, Darren Smith, a board-certified plastic surgeon and American Society of Plastic Surgeons member, tells Axios.

• "While we can technically freeze and store fat for future use, the safety and production protocols are not yet established to offer this on a mass scale," Smith says. (Full disclosure: Smith was Asher's high school classmate.)

The big picture: Plastic surgery is becoming a normal part of post-GLP-1 life, as patients shed pounds rapidly and experience changes in skin and volume.

The bottom line: New cosmetic approaches are emerging for GLP-1 patients, but not all are ready for prime time.

📬 Let us know: Are you taking GLP-1s? What's your experience been like?

The Bins, a Houston-based thrift shop, will open its first Austin-area location Friday at 2915 Guadalupe St.

Why it matters: The store joins a cluster of secondhand retailers north of the University of Texas, including Leopard Lounge, Pavement, Vintage Hideout and Buffalo Exchange.

What to expect: Men's and women's clothing will cost $10 per pound during opening weekend, with the price dropping each day afterward.

💭 Our thought bubble: The clustering of the stores proves once again Nobel Prize-winning findings about the economic impact of concentrations of industry.

• Think of 29th and Guadalupe as the Silicon Valley of 50-50 blend T-shirts.

📍 If you go: Opening-day hours are 10am-9pm. The Bins is moving into the former Flamingos Vintage Pound storefront, which relocated to 2820 Guadalupe St. last September.
