What was the name given to the series of laws that closed Boston harbor, required colonists to put British soldiers in their homes, and allowed British officials accused of crimes to be tried in Britain?

The laws that you described are, respectively, The Boston Port Act, The Quartering Act, and The Administration of Justice Act. Collectively, these Acts are often referred to the Coercive Acts or the Intolerable Acts (depending on what side is referring to them - the former is the British; the latter is the colonists).
