I have had no problem in the past doing an airside connection from a flight arriving from the U.S. to a regional flight. However, I worry that there may be an issue with flights departing to the U.S. Sadly, the folks at DL are clueless (weren't even aware that GRU had sterile transit capability).
It should not be a problem because secondary screening for USA bound flights are made at the gate, when you are boarding the flight.
