The powerful message was sent while Legend was still in hospital with his newborn son.
Legend who has been open about his opposition to Trump in the past tweeted: "Even human beings who commit heinous acts are the same species as us not animals . I m in the hospital with our new son. Any of these babies here could end up committing terrible crimes in the future. It s easy once they ve done so to distance ourselves from their humanity.
"But it s much more honest and challenging to realize they were all babies once and think about what in society their home life etc took them from baby to violent gang member. And then to think about collective action we could take to mitigate these conditions."
