3% Interest on ICE Bond Cash
If you deposit cash to secure a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) immigration bond, the interest rate paid on that cash is 3.0% per year for the period October 1, 2025 through January 31, 2026. That means your deposited funds will accrue interest at 3% during those dates.
Quarterly Rate Calculation, Cap and Floor
Going forward, the interest rate on cash for immigration bonds will vary quarterly and will accrue each calendar quarter at the lesser of (a) the average bond-equivalent rates on 91-day Treasury bills auctioned during the preceding calendar quarter, or (b) 3.0% per annum, but in no case less than 0%. This sets a cap at 3% and a floor at 0% for future quarterly rates.
Treasury Posts Current Quarterly Rate
The Department of the Treasury will post the current quarterly interest rate for cash deposited to secure immigration bonds in Table 2b—Interest Rates for Specific Legislation on the TreasuryDirect website. You can check that Table 2b on TreasuryDirect to see the posted rate for each quarter.
