Mario Rodriguez-Rodriguez (“Rodriguez”) appeals his sentence following his guilty-plea conviction of illegally reentering the United States after having been deported previously following a conviction for an aggravated felony. He seeks to challenge the constitutionality of 8 U.S.C. § 1326(b). He argues that the appeal waiver contained in his plea agreement does not bar the instant appeal.

Rodriguez’s appeal waiver was rendered not knowing and voluntary when the magistrate judge advised Rodriguez at his rearraignment hearing that he could appeal an “illegal sentence.” See United States v. Robinson, 187 F.3d 516, 517-18 (5th Cir. 1999). Therefore, his appeal waiver does not bar the instant appeal.

Rodriguez argues that the “felony” and “aggravated felony” provisions of 8 U.S.C. § 1326(b)(1) and (2) are unconstitu *274 tional in the light of Apprendi v. New Jersey, 530 U.S. 466, 120 S.Ct. 2348, 147 L.Ed.2d 435 (2000). He concedes that his challenge is foreclosed by Almendarez-Torres v. United States, 523 U.S. 224, 235, 118 S.Ct. 1219,140 L.Ed.2d 350 (1998), and he raises it to preserve it for further review by the Supreme Court.

Apprendi did not overrule Almendarez-Torres. See Apprendi, 530 U.S. at 489-90, 120 S.Ct. 2348; United States v. Dabeit, 231 F.3d 979, 984 (5th Cir. 2000). We therefore must follow Almendarez-Torres “unless and until the Supreme Court itself determines to overrule it.” Dabeit, 231 F.3d at 984 (internal quotation marks and citation omitted).

AFFIRMED.
