'It's him, it's him!' - Venezuelan mother spots deported son in mega-prison footage.

Francisco José García Casique , 24 , was deported to El Salvador 1,430 miles ( 2,300km ) away in El Salvador .

His mother, Myrelis Casique López , said she was certain her son was among the detainees.

The Trump administration says all of the deportees are members of the Tren de Aragua gang, which has found itself in the White House's crosshairs.

President Trump invoked a centuries-old law, the 1798 Alien Enemies Act , to deport the men without due process in the US , saying they were Tren de Aragua gang members.

The move has had a chilling effect on many Venezuelans and Venezuelan-Americans in the U.S. "Of course we're afraid. We're terrified," said Adelys Ferro , the executive-director of the Venezuelan-American Caucus .
