  Protostellar sources in star forming regions are responsible for driving jets
with flow velocities ranging between 300 and 400 km s$^{-1}$. This class of
jets consists of highly collimated outflows which include thermal knots with
number densities estimated to be greater than that of their ambient medium. On
the other hand, extragalactic FR I jets consist of light fluid with low Mach
number burrowing through a denser medium as the magnetized jets radiate
nonthermal emission. Both protostellar and extragalactic jets are believed to
be launched by accretion disks. Here we consider a jet model in which the
characteristics common to both protostellar and extragalactic jets are used to
explain the origin of nonthermal filaments in the Galactic center region. We
argue that these filaments are analogous to FR I extragalactic sources but are
launched by embedded young stars or clusters of stars in star-forming regions.
