What changed

The Treasury Department issued a notice establishing the quarterly interest rate on ICE immigration bonds at 3% per annum for Q2 2026 (April 1 - June 30, 2026). The rate is calculated as the lesser of the average bond equivalent rates on 91-day Treasury bills auctioned during the preceding calendar quarter, or 3% per annum, but not less than zero, as prescribed by 8 U.S.C. 1363(a) and implemented through 8 CFR 293.2.

Bond posters and those managing immigration bond obligations should note that interest accrues quarterly at this capped rate. The rate applies automatically during the specified period; no action is required to receive the interest payment, which is governed by the statutory maximum of 3% per annum.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Federal law requires that interest payments on cash deposited to secure immigration ( printed page 17334) bonds shall be “at a rate determined by the Secretary of the Treasury, except that in no case shall the interest rate exceed 3 per centum per annum.” 8 U.S.C. 1363(a). Related Federal regulations state that “Interest on cash deposited to secure immigration bonds will be at the rate as determined by the Secretary of the Treasury, but in no case will exceed 3 per centum per annum or be less than zero.” 8 CFR 293.2. Treasury has determined that interest on the bonds will vary quarterly and will accrue during each calendar quarter at a rate equal to the lesser of the average of the bond equivalent rates on 91-day Treasury bills auctioned during the preceding calendar quarter, or 3 per centum per annum, but in no case less than zero. [FR Doc. 2015-18545 ]. In addition to this Notice, Treasury posts the current quarterly rate in Table 2b—Interest Rates for Specific Legislation on the Treasury Direct website.
