This is really a legal question and should be answered by a qualified person who will know all the facts and be able to give you a legal answer.
If you cannot afford the expense of legal counsel you should contact your local family services and ask for help with this. Legal service is not always free but can be obtained at a greatly reduced rate.

We do not know where your mother lives (home or nursing home?), or who lives with her, or if you and your mother have ever had problems or if your mother wishes to see you so you should be able to understand that without knowing the true situation we should not offer advice other than to seek counsel for help and if she is in a nursing home you should discuss this with the administrator because the one with the POA controls the payment (if any) that goes to the nursing home.

If there are problems that could cause harm to your mother (physical or mental) then the person with the POA may be able to set visitation restrictions.

Seek legal help with this problem.

The lawyer who drew up the POA will need to tell you what the document covers. These differ by state and can be broad to cover all decisions or very narrow, for example only permitting the person to pay bills. The person who drew it needs to explain it.

Prayers that you can resolve the situation peacefully, because it sounds like there are layers of issues going on here.

Normally a POA deals with making the financial decision and medical decision for your mom. I have not heard of any POA allowing a person to restrict anyone from visiting their mom. Unless he is trying to hide something from you and is not telling you all there is then I would question this and ask him to read the document to see if this gives him the right to stop you from seeing your mom.

I would also try and get a copy of this and show it to a lawyer or legal aid person and ask them for their advice on this matter.

not unless he got a restraining order via his POA powers.
