Even if the intern was paid, that's probably illegal.

Interns generally can't perform useful work for a business—they're actually supposed to cost the business money, time, etc. and cannot work on a project the business would normally pay someone to do.

In the US an intern paid minimum wage or more is just an employee, the special requirements are for unpaid interns.
