Two men charged with kidnapping a 17-year-old girl last week also were being detained with federal immigration holds.

Alejandro Manuel Sanchez-Sanchez, 25, and Cesar Sanchez, 30, both of Las Vegas, made their first appearance in Henderson Justice Court Tuesday morning.

Justice of the Peace Stephen George read the men of their rights and scheduled a hearing for Sept. 11. Both men used a Spanish-speaking interpreter.

Both were being held at the Henderson Detention Center on more than $1 million bail on kidnapping, extortion and conspiracy charges.

Immigration holds keep inmates jailed for potential immigration violations should they pay their bond on the criminal charges.

The men are charged with snatching Melissa Duran from the doorway of her Henderson home about 7:30 a.m. Friday. Henderson police found Duran and the suspects about 4:30 a.m. Saturday at an apartment on Flower Avenue, near Stewart and Eastern avenues in Las Vegas.

Duran was unharmed.

Police said the men called the girl's parents soon after the kidnapping and demanded a ransom. A friend of the family told the Review-Journal the men asked for $150,000.

The men might have had ties to the landscaping company owned by Duran's father, but police did not elaborate because the case was under investigation.
