You should apply for a new passport. If there are no restrictions on getting a new passport it will only take a few weeks. You go to the local government office with a Social Security card and a drivers license with proof of your address and a few passport photos. CVS and Sears take passport photos as well as many other locations.

Check with whoever seized it. Probably the arresting agency, or possibly the U.S. Attorney's Office is holding it.
