Section 1: Specific cases of house arrest and administrative detention

The administrative authority may place under house arrest, for the purposes of rapid processing and effective monitoring of their asylum application, foreign nationals whose right to remain has ended pursuant to b or d of 1° of article L. 542-2 and who are subject to a decision imposing an obligation to leave French territory.

The administrative authority may detain the foreign national referred to in article L. 752-1, provided that detention is necessary to determine the elements on which his asylum application is based, in particular to prevent a risk of evading enforcement of the removal decision assessed according to the same criteria as those provided for in article L. 612-3 or when the protection of national security or public order so requires.
