I was almost tempted to use "where you are domiciled" but that sounds sarcastic if you can't choose where you live..

held under administrative detention


Explanation:
E.g. detained under the orders issued by the authorities

Administrative detention is arrest and detention of individuals by the state without trial, usually for security reasons. A large number of countries,[1] both democratic and undemocratic, resort to administrative detention as a means to combat terrorism, to control illegal immigration, or to protect the ruling regime.

Unlike criminal incarceration (imprisonment) imposed upon conviction following a trial, administrative detention is a forward-looking mechanism. While criminal proceedings have a retrospective focus – they seek to determine whether a defendant committed an offense in the past – the reasoning behind administrative detention often is based upon contentions that the suspect is likely to pose a threat in the future. It is meant to be preventive in nature rather than punitive (see preventive detention)
