ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — The Latest on the court appearances of five former residents of a remote New Mexico compound (all times local):
11:30 a.m.
Five people arrested at a New Mexico compound where a 3-year-old boy was found dead have pleaded not guilty to new federal charges. The charges include a terrorism-related count that accuses them of supporting a plan to attack law enforcement officers and other government employees.
The two men and three women living at the compound raided in August were arraigned Thursday on charges handed down last week in a superseding indictment.
The group has been in federal custody on firearms charges.
Four members of the group also are charged in the kidnapping of a boy who was reported missing in Georgia in 2017 and died at the compound after suffering from medical disabilities that authorities say went untreated.
The boy's father is the only one who has not been charged with kidnapping.
