McALLEN — Mexican natiAonal was formally charged Wednesday with kidnapping after he allegedly held two immigrants suspected of being in the country illegally against their will, prosecutors say.

Homeland Security Investigations agents along with McAllen police arrested Martin Margarito-Casmiro, who is accused of keeping the two people captive at a McAllen home in late January, according to a news release.

If convicted of the charges, Margarito could face life in prison.
