Ahmad Mulakhil, 23, is accused of raping of the underage girl in Nuneaton on July 22.
A second man, Mohammad Kabir, also 23, has been charged with aiding and abetting rape, as well as strangulation and kidnap of the girl.
George Finch, the leader of Warwickshire county council and Reform party politician, claimed there has been a “cover up”.
He alleged the two men were asylum seekers, and accused the police of hiding this from the public.
Now, Nigel Farage has weighed into the debate and blasted that the British people “have had enough” of “unidentified males” roaming the streets.
Speaking at a press conference today, the Reform leader said: “None of these young and unidentified males that are coming into this country should be free to roam the streets.
“They should be detained ahead of them being deported.
“We will do that to protect the British people. We have had enough.”
Farage also questioned the deterrents to small boats and illegal immigration.
The Reform leader claimed people were still arriving because they knew they had a “99 per cent chance of staying”.
Farage dismissed today’s Home Office announcement about £100m being spent on more officers.
And he said that the only effective solution would be to turn people away when they arrived “like Australia did”.
Farage added: “If you enter a country illegally, you will be detained and deported.
“This is what normal countries do all over the world. We’ve surrendered normality to this new human rights regime.”
Cllr Finch claimed that the chief executive of the council, Monica Fogarty, told him Kabir was an asylum seeker living in a house of multiple occupancy.
He said locals were able to “join the dots together” and came to the same assumption.
Cllr Finch, leader of Warwickshire County Council, claimed he wasn’t immediately told about two migrants involved in the alleged rape of a girl in Nuneaton.
The Reform councillor claims he was only made aware of Mulakhil being charged two days later on July 29.
He claims he tried to contact the local police and crime commissioner, only to be told he was on holiday and didn’t know much about the case.
The Council Leader claimed he was “begging” and “screaming” for all details relating to the accused’s asylum status to be released.
He said: “Our communities are at breaking point and that’s why we need Reform to change things. We’re the last line of defence against this block.
“The people of Nuneaton are hurt. They’ve had enough.”
The Warwickshire assault allegedly unfolded between 8.30pm and 9.45pm on Tuesday, July 22.
CCTV footage from a nearby doorbell camera appeared to show a man walking with the girl at around 8pm.
Cops detained the suspect on Saturday 26, and he was charged the following day.
He appeared at Coventry Magistrates’ Court on Monday and was remanded in custody.
Both defendants will next appear at Warwick Crown Court on August 26.
While police are under no obligation to reveal a suspect’s nationality, cops allegedly told local politicians and officials not to reveal it in this case over fears of “inflaming community tensions”, The Times reported.
The roads where suspects live are usually named, but in this case were kept secret.
However, Warwickshire Police has not denied reports that Mr Mulakhil and Mr Kabir are asylum seekers.
An official claimed police feared the area would become a hotbed for protests like those outside a migrant hotel in Epping, Essex, last month.
Last month, Epping made the headlines after becoming a hotspot for protests outside of asylum seeker hotels.
The protest, outside the Bell Hotel in Epping, began peacefully but escalated into what officers described as “scattered incidents of violence” targeting police and property.
Eight officers were injured and a number of police vehicles were damaged as missiles were thrown.
Farage on Australia immigration system
Nigel Farage blasted illegal immigration at a press conference in Westminster today.
He said: “There’s only one way you’re going to stop this. only one way.”
Referencing Australia, Farage claimed that the UK could do better.
The Reform leader added: “Australia went through these agonies back in the earlier part of this century.
“They argued election after election what to do.
“They tried off-shore protests and many other things and still the boats came.
“In the end they towed the boats back.”
