You'll need to clear immigration, collect your bags, and clear customs in Chicago. Immediately after all this, and before swinging doors that lead to the area where people wait for arriving pax, you go to Delta desk and check your bags with them. This desk will also issue/reissue your Delta boarding pass as needed.

Only then should you leave that area and take Airport Transit System (ATS) train to Terminal 2.
