(I know not to tell the agent that I’m leaving the airport.)

Don’t believe I’ve flown Delta out of MIA in at least 10 years, so no idea how things work there. Thanks.
There won't be any Delta checkin agents at that hour.

Who are you flying in on? If they interline with Delta then you could have them tag your bags to transfer to DL .
