3% Interest on ICE Bond Deposits
If you deposit cash to secure a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) immigration bond, that cash will earn interest at 3.0% per year for the period January 1, 2026 through March 31, 2026.
Quarterly Rate Formula and Limits
Treasury will set the bond interest rate each calendar quarter equal to 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 zero. The rate therefore updates quarterly and may be below 3.0% if the 91-day T-bill average is lower.
