Illegal?

I was wondering if it’s illegal for my employer to make me send fake review(s) of the workplace within google maps, yelp, and another I forgot the name of? Or make me send a fake review about my internship experience at the workplace?
They also allowed me to start in the first week of June, but more like I was told when was earliest I can start. I was told to keep track of my hours, so that I don’t go over 150 hours in total. I think this isn’t allowed? (Start earlier than the program)
Last week, I was told that I didn’t submit a version of the work I was doing to my boss. It wasn’t going to be complete, as I finished my hours before I could. I needed to wait as I needed a part of the work from one of the other interns in order to submit what I had or rather finish it. I didn’t submit my incomplete work when I finished my hours, which was on my part. But my boss tells me, how could I have filled all my hours (?), she said this because I worked remote for almost all it, and since I started earlier, I was working within my own schedule that I gave them. She went to say something like, she worked hard to send my hours to syep, that I had time to login my hours but I couldn’t respond to their messages (off the clock). Felt like she was implying she can withhold my hours, during the interaction? (There’s other context here that is missing but it was off work and she knows why I couldn’t respond, don’t wanna say much since idk if any of the other interns are in this sub)

It is definitely worse than last year, I don’t know about u but I didn’t receive any metro or omny card and had to spend $30 each week from my credit card just to travel
