Marco Antonio Solis-Ramirez (Solis-Ramirez) appeals his conviction and sentence *646for being found in the United States after previous deportation, a violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326(a) and (b). He argues that the “felony” and “aggravated felony” provisions of § 1326(b)(1) and (2) are unconstitutional in light of Apprendi v. New Jersey, 530 U.S. 466, 120 S.Ct. 2348, 147 L.Ed.2d 435 (2000). Sohs-Ramirez raises an issue that he concedes is foreclosed, but he seeks to preserve it for further review.

This argument is foreclosed by Almendarez-Torres v. United States, 523 U.S. 224, 235, 118 S.Ct. 1219, 140 L.Ed.2d 350 (1998). We must follow the precedent in Almendarez-Torres “unless and until the Supreme Court itself determines to overrule it.” United States v. Dabeit, 231 F.3d 979, 984 (5th Cir. 2000) (internal quotation and citation omitted).

AFFIRMED.
