Enrique Marquez Jr. appeared briefly Wednesday in federal court in Riverside, California, to answer to a five-count indictment alleging he conspired to provide material support to terrorists.
With his hands and feet shackled, the 24-year-old Marquez answered "not guilty" when asked for his plea.
A jury trial was set for Feb. 23. He faces 50 years behind bars if convicted.
