Is there any legal mechanism to completely cut ties with them?

Of course. Congress has the power to grant them independence and sever political ties. There is a law that gives the PR the option of voting for statehood, independence, or status quo, but there is nothing that says the US government cannot preempt that decision.

No. It’s their choice and congress, iirc.

I’m sure it can be done. The rat in the ointment will be Congress determining to bail out PR no matter what is done outside of Congress.
