Bearing photos of some of the detainees, the group denounced the “kidnapping” of their loved ones and clamored for them to be freed.
“They are good boys who were unjustly taken to El Salvador. We are here asking for help to bring our children back,“ she said.
The deportations took place despite a US federal judge granting a temporary suspension of the expulsion order -- apparently as planes carrying the detainees were already headed to San Salvador -- raising questions over whether the Trump administration deliberately defied the court decision.
Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele said 238 members of a Venezuelan gang called Tren de Aragua, which Trump has designated a foreign terrorist organization, had arrived. Bukele shared a video of men in handcuffs and shackles being transferred from a plane to a heavily guarded convoy.
The men were taken to the maximum security Terrorism Confinement Center, a mega-prison Bukele had built to imprison gangsters on the edge of a jungle 75 kilometers (45 miles) southeast of the capital.
Jimenez said she learned of her son's transfer through photos she saw on social media.
Venezuela says it considers the transfer of its citizens to El Salvador a “crime against humanity” and Maduro has urged the UN to take steps to protect their rights.
Maduro, accused of stealing elections last July that saw him claim re-election to a third, six-year term, is not recognized as Venezuela's legitimate president by the opposition and much of the rest of the world.
