Are the recent shifts in electoral preferences the reason for the push?

As a backhanded way to surveil those politicians and citizens with the "wrong views" on remigration, etc.?

If anything, such ideas are usually to appease people who are in favor of deportation.

Edit: well like someone pointed out instead of party programmes and declarations, we should look at past voting behaviour on the 2021 vote: https://mepwatch.eu/9/vote.html?v=134463&eugroup=ID

Seems like only the Greens, The Left and Afd within ID were against that first version of Chat Control.

This isn't the case though: the right-wing Identity and Democracy faction is explicitly pro-privacy, digital rights and against Chat Control.

The ID group is opposed to EU-wide surveillance measures, and promises to protecting individual privacy and national sovereignty.

Now ECR is also sceptical and have expressed concerns, though their voting record on privacy related legislation is more inconsistent, I believe.
