Is travel time supposed to be paid?

My company is almost 100% remote work from home and has been for almost 3 years now. There's only a couple of positions that have to be in the office. I'm not in any of those positions, however we have a mass meeting we're being required to attend in the office. They're telling us travel time will not be paid, but the meeting will. It's in the middle of the work day, so we have to clock out to get there, not clock back in until we get home, and they'll add the meeting time for us. We're expected to make up the time that day or use our vacation time. This honestly isn't a massive deal for me since I like 7 minutes from the office, but we've got some employees who live an hour away. I feel like the travel time should be paid, since it's absolutely mandatory…

I feel like the travel time should be paid, since it's absolutely mandatory to go (for whatever reason), they won't approve any alternatives and they also said they're not approving any time off requests for this day.

I'm in Florida. My main company is in Florida, but the parent company is in the upper Midwest (I think Minnesota).
