Since I will reenter the USA at Chicago and will personally clear customs there, does that mean I will have to take delivery of my checked bags in Chicago to clear customs and then seek out a Delta gate agent to recheck my bags for my Delta flight to Minneapolis? Or is there a process whereby my bags can stay checked to my final destination yet still be inspected at either ORD or MSP without me?
No, you'll need to claim them, clear customs, and then recheck them. IIRC, in ORD, there are baggage check areas right after customs.
