But that was offered as the sole metric of success. There was no discussion of the affirmative good the bailout might have done: family dinners, parents at school events, mothers and children retaining and trying to rebuild the bonds that incarceration can fray.

🤖 Conclusion [10/100]: The statement provided is highly inflammatory and largely incorrect according to the referenced sources. Claims that Democrats are "doing nothing but harboring criminals" are demonstrably false; while there are disagreements over immigration and crime policy, there is no evidence or credible reporting showing a party-wide policy of harboring criminals. The claim that the federal government should or could abolish sanctuary cities is evaluated as inconclusive in the sources, indicating ongoing legal and constitutional debates, but not settled policy or legal standing for abolition. Most notably, the claim that politicians who do not comply with abolishing sanctuary cities should be imprisoned is outright rejected: multiple references state there is no current legal basis or precedent for locking up elected officials over sanctuary city policies, and constitutional protections (like the Tenth Amendment) strongly limit federal power to dictate such local policies. In summary, the statement is almost entirely false and unsupported by any credible source, meriting a low truthfulness score.
