Thank you for the information.
It was also reported on 6/6 here:
Obama to provide legal aid to border-crossing children
Doesn't list the age, but young + children usually means Elementary School age and younger.
On Friday, Justice took the additional step of establishing the grant program to get more lawyers to represent those children in immigration court. The program will be run through AmeriCorps the federal government's domestic community service program and will try to enroll 100 new lawyers and paralegals in 29 cities across the country. They would commit to one year of service and receive living stipends as they conduct the work.
2 Million USD is less than a drop within a drop within a drop in a very large bucket.
But until I've read more, I don't feel qualified to say anymore.
Overall, illegal immigration is drastically down, but in some parts of the SE, among youngsters, it is apparently up.
Do you consider this spending to be unconstitutional or a breach of law?
Both. They are required to enforce the law. The law is part of the constitution. So they violate both.
Via the other post they actually spent 4 million here. That is from the DOJ's own website and required report due to the Freedom of Information act.

Immigration: Deportation
Deportation (removal) is the act and process of formally removing foreign nationals from one country and returning them to their country of origin. The United States considers foreign nationals deportable if they violated U.S. immigration law.
After the deportation process begins:
An Immigration Court within the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) hears the related case
If the judge rules that the deportation proceed, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) carries out the removal order
The Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) identifies the reasons for deporting a foreign national. For more information, contact the DOJ, ICE, or U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) directly:
