Black hole jets, such as the 5,000 light-year jet from M87*, do not violate physics because they originate from the accretion disk just outside the event horizon, not from within the black hole itself; superheated matter at billions of degrees is redirected outward by twisted magnetic fields at nearly light speed, powered by the black hole's rotational energy, while the material never crosses the event horizon.

M87*'s 5,000 Light-Year Jet Doesn't Break PhysicsAdded:
You've been told nothing escapes a black hole.
So, why is M87 firing a jet of plasma 5,000 light-years into space?
The jet doesn't come from inside. It comes from just outside, where matter superheats to billions of degrees.
Magnetic fields sling it outward at [music] nearly light speed.
What shoots out was never inside.
