Boss is threatening mandatory over time if we don’t finish task (that is outside our normal duties). Is this legal?

Located in the US. As title says, threatening mandatory overtime if we don’t finish project by the 19th. I work in a warehouse and we’re sending several hundred pallets to new warehouse. Each pallet has to be restacked and counted appropriately. The usual “we’ll have to go above and beyond for our team” is being thrown around. I’m only scheduled as 32 hours a week, but I’m scared if I decline working extra I’ll be fired. I rarely stay late or do over time. Can they even require it?
