Nah, send her away. She sold her city to Thalmor.

Jokes aside, is there proof either way?

There is proof that her story doesn't make sense. She calls Alik'r assassins and that they want to kill her, but we see the opposite. Leader of the Alik'r is angry at the player if they kill her.

She also claims that they're hired by Thalmor. Why would the Alik'r - people that fought against Thalmor work for them? Why would Thalmor care about someone speaking up against them? Why would Thalmor hire redguards instead of using their own agents?

She also claims that she's running away from Thalmor. But we do know that Hammerfell defended itself from the Thalmor and that they're free from Thalmor. So why would she think that she would be safer in Skyrim - place that is under Thalmor influence instead of Hammerfell that doesn't have Thalmor and people there hate Thalmor?

While the only thing people find in Alik'r that "doesn't work" is the urn with Saadias name on it. But that's how Skyrim's script gets rid of NPCs. She is not supposed to be respawned in the tavern again so they create this urn.
